Why isn't there a matching end-assignment in the del_producer path?  It
seems this only goes one-way, what happens when a device is
hot-unplugged from the VM or the device interrupt configuration changes.
This will still break vfio if it's not guaranteed to be symmetric.
Thanks,

Yes, we need add logic in the del_producer path.

Thanks
