Yes, I think so.

I thought of that. The reason I did that is to keep the semantics with
rte_vhost_driver_get_feature(path). But you are right, we don't have
to follow that. More importantly, we may also need change the return
value of rte_vhost_driver_get_features(path): which could also fail
if 'path' is not found.
