Using fallthrough in this case will make the code more
compact. I like such coding style. But unfortunately,
it's not consistent with the existing code. :(

The whole function will become something like this:

void vring_transport_features(struct virtio_device *vdev)
{
	unsigned int i;

	for (i = VIRTIO_TRANSPORT_F_START; i < VIRTIO_TRANSPORT_F_END; i++) {
		switch (i) {
		case VIRTIO_RING_F_INDIRECT_DESC:
			break;
		case VIRTIO_RING_F_EVENT_IDX:
			break;
		case VIRTIO_F_VERSION_1:
			break;
		case VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM:
		case VIRTIO_F_RING_PACKED:
			break;
		default:
			/* We don't understand this bit. */
			__virtio_clear_bit(vdev, i);
		}
	}
}
