Only itself. But in normal cases, userspace would not poke at the
memory since there is no available data after reset.
And it makes me think whether it's better to disallow returning errors
from userspace for the reset message. Then the only case that leads to
reset failure is the request timeout, which will mark the device
broken now.

Yes, so we still need the below fix.

I think both the userspace daemon and kernel should reset their
internal states. Besides, userspace daemon needs to stop processing
virtqueue and clear the memory mapping.
