Sounds very reasonable; that and Rusty's "mask out unknown bits"
suggestion in the version below.

Cheers,

Subject: [PATCH] virtio_net: add link status handling

Allow the host to inform us that the link is down by adding
a VIRTIO_NET_F_STATUS which indicates that device status is
available in virtio_net config.

This is currently useful for simulating link down conditions
(e.g. using proposed qemu 'set_link' monitor command) but
would also be needed if we were to support device assignment
via virtio.

Not quite what I was after.  I've taken the original patch, added the
masking change.  I'll test here and feed to DaveM.

As far as Anthony's live migrate race, I've decided to declare with
Canutian arrogance that it Will Never Happen.

Cheers,
Rusty.

This never got pushed to davem, did it? What you've got in your queue
looks fine to me ...

Cheers,
