Make sure to offer VIRTIO_NET_F_MTU since we configure the MTU based
on what was queried from the device.

This allows the virtio driver to allocate large enough buffers based
on the reported MTU.

It is better to set this feature bit along with the writing the RO config.mtu
area, adjacent to query_mtu() call.

Why is that so important? We always query the mtu and if the query fails, we
fail the initialization so it does not look critical.
It is not so important. But it is more appropriate to set read only field and its associated feature bit at one place, which never changes.
There is no need to perform OR operation for those many feature bits on every get_features() callback when they are immutable.

So I wanted to move setting other 5 feature bits assignment at one place in device initialization time similar to how you have done VALID_FEATURES_MASK.
Something like below.
But again, its minor.
If you happen to revise the series (I think you should for the supporting dumpit in future), please consider one time assignment like below.

I would just open-code it, don't see what good does the macro do.
A single assignment is a bit clearer I think I agree,
there's not much of a difference.
