Thanks for the patch but I'd rather improve __viommu_sync_req() to handle
more errors. At the moment, if the virtqueue breaks then it spins
infinitely waiting for a host response. We should at least check the
return value of virtqueue_kick(), and maybe add a timeout as well although
I'm not sure which time base we can use reliably here.

Thanks,
Jean
