Currently user cannot set the mac address and mtu of the vdpa device.
This patchset enables users to set the mac address and mtu of the vdpa
device once the device is created.
If a vendor driver supports such configuration user can set it
otherwise user gets unsupported error.
This makes sense to me overall. People are used to use netlink to set these
parameters, and virtio does not necessarily have a way to set all device
parameters - they can be RO in the config space.
Yes. this series enables it to RO when driver doesn't support setting it.
When driver supports it, it is RW.

Do I need to rebase + resend?
Please let me know.
Can't hurt.
