SubjectRe: [PATCH 3/5] virtio: Don't expose legacy net features when VIRTIO_NET_NO_LEGACY defined.

I would add "but with all fields squashed into the main structure".

I note that this way host code can't be structured like this:


struct virtio_net_hdr_v1 modern;
/* handle modern guests */
....

#ifndef VIRTIO_NET_NO_LEGACY
struct virtio_net_hdr_mrg_rxbuf mrg;
/* handle legacy guests */

#endif


Define virtio_net_hdr_v1 unconditionally?
