Thanks, and sorry about the delayed response.
Originally I thought there's an issue here in that in theory, the response
could be split across multiple iov entries.

However, I now noticed that this is already unsupported:

                if (unlikely(vq->iov[out].iov_len < rsp_size)) {
                        vq_err(vq, "Expecting at least virtio_scsi_cmd_resp"
                                " size, got %zu bytes\n", vq->iov[out].iov_len);
                        break;
                }

So I will queue this, but I think that we need to look at removing the
assumption here longer term.
