virtio spec requires that all drivers set DRIVER_OK before using devices. While rpmsg isn't yet included in the virtio 1 spec, previous spec versions also required this. virtio rpmsg violates this rule: is calls kick before setting DRIVER_OK. The fix isn't trivial since simply calling virtio_device_ready earlier would mean we might get an interrupt in parallel with adding buffers. Instead, split kick out to prepare+notify calls. prepare before virtio_device_ready - when we know we won't get interrupts. notify right afterwards. Signed-off-by: Michael S.
