In particular, modern\nvirtio-pci keeps enabled queues active until the device is reset.\n\nReset the device before deleting the virtqueues so it can no longer\naccess the vring memory when that memory is released. This also covers\nprobe failures after DRIVER_OK, which unwind through virtsnd_remove()."
