It would be nice to support it, I'll try to see if I can find anything.

I just reviewed the series. I think the most important things to fix are 
the `seqpacket_allow` stored in the struct virtio_transport that is 
wrong IMHO, and use cpu_to_le32()/le32_to_cpu() to access the flags.

I also left some other comments around.

Thanks,
