Also, let's not repeat the vhost net mistakes, let's lock
everything to the order required by the virtio spec,
checking status bits at each step.
E.g.:
	set backend features
	set features
	detect and program vqs
	enable vqs
	enable driver

and check status at each step to force the correct order.
e.g. don't allow enabling vqs after driver ok, etc
