/*
* Not sure right now but this look like some kind of QEMU bug and guest IO
* might be frozed without kicking all queues after live-migration. This look like
* the previous vhost instance failed to effectively deliver all interrupts before
* the GET_VRING_BASE message. This shouldn't harm guest since spurious interrupts
* should be ignored by guest virtio driver.
*
* Tested on QEMU 2.10.91 and 2.11.50.
