This is a weird thing to do. We normally delete vqs then reset.
For example, I don't know whether we guarantee what happens
to MSI-X vectors assigned meanwhile if you reset.
IIRC qemu doesn't use MSI-X for the balloon, but nothing
prevents it.

What prevents requests being submitted at this point?
I see all kind of handling of freezing in the balloon thread ...
maybe that gives us some guarantees, but if yes
it makes sense to add a comment to point this out.
