Well the only transports left are pci and rpoc, and these only
read the low 32 bit of the features from the device -
so there's nothing to clear.

E.g. the following would be even more confusing, would it not:

	u32 features;
	....
	features &= ~BIT_ULL(VIRTIO_F_VERSION_1);

Agree?

No because the register is 32 bit wide there.

Good catch. I can fix that for v5, but see below.

Ah, you mean device guarantees that VIRTIO_F_VERSION_1 isn't set
if guest sets revision to 0?
In that case it's probably best to drop this from both ccw
devices.

It is here temporarily anyway, only in order to avoid
using transitional devices incorrectly when bisecting.
