Ok, I think I miss some context. I agree that it's better to decouple
memory mappings from the virtio reset. It helps to reduce the
unnecessary memory transactions. It might require a new feature flag.

Regarding the method of restoring to 1:1 DMA MR, it might be dangerous
for (buggy) vhost-vDPA devices. Since its userspace doesn't set up any
mapping it can explore the kernel with that via CVQ?
