[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/3] virtio: don't report link state feature unless available

[Stephen Hemminger]

From: Stephen Hemminger <shemming at brocade.com>

If host does not support virtio link state (like current DPDK vhost)
then don't set the flag. This keeps applications from incorrectly
assuming that link state is available when it is not. It also
avoids useless "guess what works in the config".
