Drivers make the assumption that after reset returns no new
buffers will be consumed. For example a bunch of drivers
call virtqueue_detach_unused_buf.
I can't say whether block makes this assumption anywhere.
Needs careful auditing.

But unmap does not happen until after the reset.

static void virtblk_done(struct virtqueue *vq)
{
        struct virtio_blk *vblk = vq->vdev->priv;

vq->vdev is the same as vblk->vdev.

Needs some comments to explain why it's done like this.

BTW device is generally wedged at this point right?
E.g. if reset during initialization fails, userspace
will still get the reset at some later point and be
confused ...
