Subject: [PATCH 1/2] virito: introduce methods of fixing device features

Buggy host may advertised buggy host features (a usual case is that host
advertise a feature whose dependencies were missed). In this case, driver
should detect and disable the buggy features by itself.

This patch introduces driver specific fix_features() method which is called
just before features finalizing to detect and disable buggy features
advertised by host.

Virtio-net will be the first user.
