[dpdk-dev] [RFC 1/3] net/virtio: keep device and frontend features separated

[Maxime Coquelin]

This patch is preliminary rework to add support for getting
and setting device's config space.

In order to get or set a device config such as its MAC address,
we need to know whether the device itself support the feature,
or if it is emulated by the frontend.
