Hi Michael,

Are you okay to live without this ioctl for now? I think QEMU is the one
that needs to be fixed and will have to be made legacy guest aware. I think
the kernel can just honor the feature negotiation result done by QEMU and do
as what's told to.Will you agree?

If it's fine, I would proceed to reverting commit fe36cbe067 and related
code in question from the kernel.

Thanks,

Not really, I don't see why that's a good idea.  fe36cbe067 is the code
checking MTU before FEATURES_OK. Spec explicitly allows that.
