I should read more carefully :). I think I get what you mean now.
hw->max_mtu already includes ether_hdr_len, so it doesn't need
re-calculation here. And in case of VIRTIO_NET_F_MTU the mtu is
checked during feature negotiation.  

So it basically boils down to 
        if (dev->data->dev_conf.rxmode.max_rx_pkt_len <= w->max_mtu)
                dev_info->rx_offload_capa |= DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_JUMBO_FRAME;

Thanks for the review!
