Rusty, I have a mind to send this patches for the next merge window.
Any input on this?


This fixes the following virtio spec compliance issues:
1. on restore, drivers use device before setting ACKNOWLEDGE and DRIVER bits
2. on probe, drivers aren't prepared to handle config interrupts
   arriving before probe returns
3. on probe, drivers use device before DRIVER_OK it set

Note that 1 is a clear violation of virtio spec 0.9 and 1.0,
so I am proposing the fix for stable. OTOH 2 is against 1.0 rules but
is a known documented bug in many drivers, so let's fix it going
forward, but it does not seem to be worth it to backport
the changes.

An error handling bugfix for virtio-net is also included.

2 is merely a theoretical race condition, but it seems important
to address to make sure that changes to address 3 do not introduce
instability.
