vring_transport_features() seems to knock off the version 1 bit (I
wonder why I did not see that before, maybe VIRTIO_TRANSPORT_F_END had
not been increased before?). If I add VIRTIO_F_VERSION_1 in this
function, virtio-net and virtio-blk seem to work fine with version 1 on
virtio-ccw (tested with my old virtio-1 qemu branch).

I'll try to do a bit of reviewing tomorrow.
