All vendor drivers can implement this call with current code, just a little bit of plumbing is needed. And it was accepted in previous meetings. If it proves it works for every configuration (nested, etc), the implementation can forward the call to the admin vq for example. At the moment, it follows the proposed stop status bit sematic to stop the device, which POC has been tested in these circumstances.
