I wanted to set DRIVER_OK as late as possible, to both reduce
the chance it can fail after DRIVER_OK and to reduce the risk of
introducing a regression since old qemu might only start sending
interrupts after DRIVER_OK is set.
So I wanted everything completely initialized before DRIVER_OK.
You patch makes sense to me since nothing can fail,
and we won't get interrupts before we add inbufs.
