So if we are going to do this, I think I'd prefer something like:
struct virtio_net_ctrl_hdr_v2 { __u8 cmd_class; __u8 cmd; };
And then hide the whole old structure. This also gets rid of the packed keyword which we don't really need here.
Only issue is virtio_net_ctrl_hdr_v2 is ugly. But oh well.
And then rework at least QEMU to use the v2 of the header.
Quite a bit of churn, so I don't think it makes sense to apply just this one in isolation - only if rest of the changes go in.
