I wonder what happens if we don't do this.

So kernel had this check:

        /*
         * It's not allowed to change the features after they have
         * been negotiated.
         */
if (ops->get_status(vdpa) & VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_FEATURES_OK)
        return -EBUSY;

So is it FEATURES_OK actually?

For this patch, I wonder if the thing we need to do is to see whether
it is a enable/disable F_LOG_ALL and simply return.
