I'd expect that new status bits are guarded by a feature bit and that the device should not set status bits if the respective feature bit has not been negotiated. Therefore, unknown status bits would be a host error and the driver should consider the device to be broken.

This indicates to the host that the driver 'has given up on the device', as the spec puts it. If the driver simply resets it, chances are that we will end up in the same situation again (after all, that's a host bug). Or/additionally use virtio_break_device(), as a quick grep revealed that qemu, for one, does not do anything with FAILED. That way at least the driver will stop mucking with the device.
