Since GUEST_ANNOUNCE is emulated the feature bit could be set without
backend support.  This happens in the vDPA case.

However, backend vDPA parent may not have CVQ support.  This causes an
incoherent feature set, and the driver may refuse to start.  This
happens in virtio-net Linux driver.

This may be solved differently in the future.  Qemu is able to emulate a
CVQ just for guest_announce purposes, helping guest to notify the new
location with vDPA devices that does not support it.  However, this is
left as a TODO as it is way more complex to backport.

Tested with vdpa_net_sim, toggling manually VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_VQ in the
driver and migrating it with x-svq=on.

Could you now simplify the tests in virtio_net_announce() and
virtio_net_post_load_device() to look only for the presence of
GUEST_ANNOUNCE, given that you can now presume that it implies CTRL_VQ?

But anyway:

That's a good question. As far as I know qemu emits an error if only
GUEST_ANNOUNCE is given in a purely emulated device.

At this moment vhost-kernel and vhost-vdpa do not handle it, but
vhost-user do. Would it be beneficial to preserve previous behavior
and passthrough the features? I guess not, so I think we could
simplify those functions on top of this series.

Friendly ping about this patch, as it fell through the cracks if I'm not wrong.

Thanks!

QE uses the sim_vdpa device to test this patch and add "ctrl_vq=off"
in the qemu command line. Guest can find this device, there are no any
error messages in guest dmesg, and can migrate successfully.
