What drove this in vhost?
Normally, the common features are transport features and the devices
should have absolutely no knowledge of transport feature (since they're
transport dependent).
IOW, VIRTIO_RING_F_INDIRECT_DESC is meaningless to virtio-console
because virtio-console has no idea what the ring implementation is that
it sits on top of.
