Subject: [PATCH net-next 02/10] net/mlx4_core: Mask out host side virtualization features for guests

When VFs (guests in this context) issue the QUERY_DEV_CAP command, they
need not be told that host side virtualization features such as VST, FSM
(MAC anti-spoofing) and running > 80 VFs are supported by the device.
