I think workqueue subsystem should already handle things like this.

We have a brunch of examples in the current codes. Generally it should
be something like.

again:
    disable_cb()
    while(get_buf());
    if (enable_cb())
        disable_cb()
        goto again;

Just to clarify, I meant a callback function per control_buf. (I've
avoid touching virtqueue callback layers)
