Yes. (Anyway it pass checkpatch.pl since it forbids quoted string to be
split)

Yes, the ECN could be done through the same way as ctrl_vq did.

How about move those checking into virtio core by just letting device
export its dependency table?

Probably ok but not sure, since the rest features are all related to
csum and offloading, we are in fact depends on network core to fix them.

Patch looks good, but consider we may check more dependencies in the
future, may need a helper instead. Or just use this and switch to
dependency table in 3.19.
