Yes, use after free. I will include the kernel panic in the next
revision.
virtio_check_driver_offered_feature() accesses vdev->dev.driver, which
doesn't work after virtblk_remove() has freed vdev :).

Thanks, will fix.

Thanks, will fix.

Yes, vblk->vdev cannot be dereferenced after virtblk_remove() is
entered.
I'll document this mutex as protecting vdev.
