DSM is not a part of TVM. So it really depends on what kind of work
did the admin virtqueue do. For commands that can't be self-contained
like provisioning, it is fine, since it is done before the TDI
assignment. But it not necessarily for your migration proposal. It
seems you've found another case that self-containing is important:
allowing the owner to access the member after TDI is attached to TVM
is a side channel attack.

Thanks
