[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] virtio-spec: clarify ro/rw bits and updating rule of virtio-net status field |

This patch clarifies VIRTIO_NET_S_LINK_UP as a read-only bit and
VIRTIO_NET_S_ANNOUNCE as a read-writable bit. Also introduce the write 1 to
clear semantics for all read-writable bits of config status field. This could
help to reduce the config status field updating race between host and guest and
also simplify the implementation.
