It's a bunch of extra vmexits on each VM boot, yes.

what exactly in RFC2863 are you referring to? This?
(2) if ifAdminStatus is down, then ifOperStatus will normally also
be down (or notPresent) i.e., there is not (necessarily) a
fault condition on the interface.
So basically, just call virtio_config_driver_disable on close,
and then config interrupt will not trigger.
Why is that not enough?
