OK, but note that it is your original comment I just moved the function 
here ;)

Yes, it is necessary, the queue can be re-assigned to another guest later.
Release will only be called when unbinding the queue from the driver.

It is usual to report a failure in the case the operation requested has 
already be done.
But we can do as you want. Any other opinion?

You surely want to say: add this, not change to this. ;)
