Thanks for debugging this, Alistair.

Instead of checking for this in virtnet_set_features, how about we
make configurability contingent on cvq in virtnet_probe:

- if (virtio_has_feature(vdev, VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_GUEST_OFFLOADS))
+ if (virtio_has_feature(vdev, VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_GUEST_OFFLOADS) &&
+ virtio_has_feature(vdev, VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_VQ))
dev->hw_features |= NETIF_F_LRO;

Based on this logic a little below in the same function

if (virtio_has_feature(vdev, VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_VQ))
vi->has_cvq = true;
