The specification says the device MUST set num_buffers to 1 if
VIRTIO_NET_F_MRG_RXBUF has not been negotiated.

Have we agreed on how to fix the spec or not?

As I replied in the spec patch, if we just remove this "MUST", it
looks like we are all fine?

Thanks

We should replace MUST with SHOULD but it is not all fine,
ignoring SHOULD is a quality of implementation issue.
