Pull Request Overview

This PR moves virtio flags from simple integer values to structured bitfield types for improved type safety and readability. The changes replace raw u64 device features with a new VirtioDeviceFeatures struct that uses bitfield_struct for organized feature management.

  • Replace raw u64 features with structured VirtioDeviceFeatures type
  • Introduce bitfield structs for VirtioDeviceStatus and feature banks
  • Update all virtio device implementations to use the new structured features

[nitpick] This large block of commented-out code should be removed if it's not needed, or converted to proper documentation comments (///) with a TODO if future implementation is planned.

[nitpick] The resize operation could be inefficient for large indices. Consider adding bounds checking or documentation about expected index ranges to prevent excessive memory allocation.

[nitpick] The conditional logic could be simplified by inverting the condition and using early return or guard clause pattern for better readability.

Couple minor nits, but I don't think they are required to commit this.
Overall this looks good to me. I'd like to see someone more familiar with this code sign off in case of gremlins, but can take another look if other reviewers aren't able to get back to this.

nit: why not this:

0,

VIRTIO_CONSOLE_F_MULTIPORT

0

0
},)

The VIRTIO_* definitions are from the spec, so they are defined as the actual bit location. It happens that for the first 32 bits, the "device specific" part starts at the beginning, so they happen to line up. But I think generally if we want to use the device specific accessor we would want to define our own values (likely more bitfield structs). In this case there is tension between writing to the spec and using fancy rust wrappers, so when there are only one or two interesting bits I just left them as is.

// if multi-port is set, start the control port thread
VirtioState::Running(run_state) => {
if run_state.features & VIRTIO_CONSOLE_F_MULTIPORT != 0 {
if run_state.features.bank(0) & VIRTIO_CONSOLE_F_MULTIPORT != 0 {

Should these bank types be Copy too?
