They have exactly the same semantic which is the device features for vDPA.

VDPA_ATTR_DEV_FEATURES is introduced by my features provisioning
series, which is used for the userspace to "set" the device features.
VDPA_ATTR_VDPA_DEV_SUPPORTED_FEATURES is introduced in one of your
previous patches, which is used for userspace to "get" the device
features.

Yes, but iproute2 has the same schedule as kernel release, so it's not
too late to fix.
