Just a query on the reset_done handler and the deferred_reset()
logic in this driver. From a quick look, it doesn't look like you have 
a condition where a copy_to/from_user() is under state_mutex. So
do you think we can get rid of the deferred_reset logic from this 
driver? Please see the discussion here,
https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20240220132459.GM13330@xxxxxxxxxx/

For HiSilicon, we do have the lock taken for PRE_COPY, but that needs fixing
and then can get rid of the deferred_reset. I will sent out a patch for
that soon.

Thanks,
Shameer
