Oh you are right. I confused it with dev->features.

So the bug is in spec, it should have said
VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_GUEST_OFFLOADS depends on VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_VQ, but we
missed that part. We can and I guess should add this as a recommendation
but it's too late to make it a MUST.

Meanwhile I would say it's cleanest to work around
this in virtnet_validate by clearing VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_GUEST_OFFLOADS
if VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_VQ is off, with a big comment explaining
it's a spec bug.
