Re: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH] virtio: set virtio-net/virtio-mmio host features

[Mario Smarduch]

Hello,

any feedback on this patch, after a brief email exchange Anthony deferred to
Peter. 

Lack of improper host features handling lowers 1g & 10g performance 
substantially on arm-kvm compared to xeon. 

We would like to have this fixed so we don't have to patch every new release
of qemu, especially virtio stuff.
