One possible way is to do what vhost-user does. I.e. Apart from
the generic ring, features, ... related ioctls, we also introduce
device specific ioctls when we need them. As vhost-mdev just needs
to forward configs between parent and userspace and even won't
cache any info when possible, I think it might be better to do
this in one generic vhost-mdev module.

+1, I think it's better to not cache any unnecessary
information in vhost-mdev.

I think it's more straightforward to let the parent drivers to
filter out the unsupported features. Otherwise it would be tricky
when we want to add more features in vhost-mdev module, i.e. if
the parent drivers may expose unsupported features and relay on
vhost-mdev to filter them out, these features will be exposed
to userspace automatically when they are enabled in vhost-mdev
in the future.

I think it will duplicate the generic code in each parent.

I was thinking about always letting _GET_QUEUE_NUM return
the supported number of queues. For virtio devices other
than virtio-net, can we always expect to have a fixed
default number of queues when there is no MQ feature?
