so the virtbt_{open,close} as NOP is not really what a driver is suppose
to be doing. These are transport enable/disable callbacks from the BT
Core towards the driver. It maps to a device being enabled/disabled by
something like bluetoothd for example. So if disabled, I expect that no
resources/queues are in use.

Maybe I misunderstand the virtio spec in that regard, but I would like
to keep this fundamental concept of a Bluetooth driver. It does work
with all other transports like USB, SDIO, UART etc.

There should be no buffer used if the device is powered off. We also don’t
have any USB URBs in-flight if the transport is not active.

In the virtbt_close() callback we should deactivate all interrupts.
