I think we've discussed this sometime in the past but what's the 
reason for such whitelist consider there's already a 
get_features() implemention?

E.g Any reason to block VIRTIO_BLK_F_WRITE_ZEROS or 
VIRTIO_F_RING_PACKED?

Thanks
The reason is some feature bits are supported in the device but not 
supported by the driver, e.g, for virtio-net, mq & cq 
implementation is not ready in the driver.

I understand the case of virtio-net but I wonder why we need this 
for block where we don't vq cvq.

Thanks
This is still a subset of the feature bits read from hardware, I 
leave it here to code consistently, and indicate what we support 
clearly.
Are you suggesting remove this feature bits list and just use what we 
read from hardware?

Thansk 

Yes, please do that.

The whiltelist doesn't help in this case I think.
OK, will remove this in V2

Thanks
Thanks
