Nit: it looks to me we'd better say it's an example (since step 3 or 
even 2 is not a must).

I wonder what's the implications for virtio hardening[1]. In that 
series, we agree to have a synchronize_vqs() config ops to make sure 
callbacks are synchronized.

It uses a global flag and a device wise synchronization mechanism. It 
looks to me we need to switch to

1) per virtqueue flag
2) per virtqueue synchronization

Thanks
