Several questions here:

- I think RSC should work even without vnet_hdr?
- Need we differentiate ipv4 and ipv6 like TSO here?
- And looks like this patch should be squash to following patches.

Looks like this is unnecessary since we won't set peer offload based on
GUEST_RSC.

The changes here looks odd since it did nothing. Like I've mentioned,
better merge the patch into following ones.

Need to compat the bit for old machine type to unbreak migration I believe?

Btw, also need a patch for virtio spec.

Thanks
