It is needed, because it serves as an upper bound on configurable options.
virtnet_set_features cannot enable LRO unless the LRO flags are
captured by the feature negotiation at probe time.
I think on enable you need something like
- offloads = vi->guest_offloads_capable;
+ offloads |= vi->guest_offloads_capable &
GUEST_OFFLOAD_LRO_MASK;
instead of unconditional
+ offloads |= GUEST_OFFLOAD_LRO_MASK;
