From: Yuri Benditovich <yuri.benditovich@daynix.com>

virtio processes indirect descriptors even if the respected
feature VIRTIO_RING_F_INDIRECT_DESC was not negotiated.
If qemu is used with reduced set of features to emulate the
hardware device that does not support indirect descriptors,
the will probably trigger problematic flows on the hardware
setup but do not reveal the  mistake on qemu.
Add LOG_GUEST_ERROR for such case. This will issue logs with
'-d guest_errors' in the command line
