Actually it isn't true for every transport, see the call trace:
/**
* virtqueue_kick - update after add_buf
* @vq: the struct virtqueue
*
* After one or more virtqueue_add_* calls, invoke this to kick
* the other side.
*
* Caller must ensure we don't call this with other virtqueue
* operations at the same time (except where noted).
*
* Returns false if kick failed, otherwise true.
*/
bool virtqueue_kick(struct virtqueue *vq)
{
if (virtqueue_kick_prepare(vq))
return virtqueue_notify(vq);
return true;
}

If virtqueue_kick_prepare return ture, then notify which causes an ioport write.

Let me remove the comments avoid confusions.

Yes, I just migrated it from virtio-net. ;)

Will fix.
