Subject: [PATCH v3 2/4] vhost-vdpa: introduce STOP backend feature bit

[CAUTION: External Email]

Userland knows if it can stop the device or not by checking this feature bit.

It's only offered if the vdpa driver backend implements the stop() operation callback, and try to set it if the backend does not offer that callback is an error.

I'm not sure about the kernel code style regarding that casting. Maybe
it's better to return !!ops->stop here. The macros likely and unlikely
do that.

IIUC `ops->stop` is a function pointer, so what about

    return ops->stop != NULL;

Thanks,
Stefano
