Is this trying to say it's faster?
If yes this one looks like a red herring. Yes we skip a write but we
replace it with a read which is not better performance-wise.
If we want to optimize this, it is better to just do that inside
virtio_add_status:



diff --git a/drivers/virtio/virtio.c b/drivers/virtio/virtio.c

I preferred the original comment, it said why we are doing this,
new one repeats what code is doing.
