c. get_protocol_features: Called to get supported protocol features of
the device.
d. dev_conf: Called to configure the actual device when the virtio
device becomes ready.
e. dev_close: Called to close the actual device when the virtio device
is stopped.
f. set_vring_state: Called to change the state of the vring in the
actual device when vring state changes.
g. set_features: Called to set the negotiated features to device.
h. migration_done: Called to allow the device to response to RARP
sending.
