I don't think that a fixed 1S is a good choice. Some of the DPUs are very
lazy for cvq handle. In particular, we will also directly break the device.

I think it is necessary to add a Virtio-Net parameter to allow users to define
this timeout by themselves. Although I don't think this is a good way.

Thanks.
