With the notable difference that the critical section in sync_cb is
basically empty, so it should be less intrusive that register/unregister.

I would also argue, that since after the reset we (re-)discover our
virtqueues and (re-)register adapter interrupts, and thus before or as a
part of the reset we probably do an unregister to clean up the adapter
interrupts and de-allocate the bits in the info, this should not incur
any mayor overhead for the airq case, which is the preferred one.

Or am I missing something?

Neither do I. I would also have to start from scratch. I guess it would
be also sufficient to do a setup with two devices: a nic with many busy
queues, and another device that is responsible for generating the resets.

Right, for virtqueue notifications. I second Connie's motion!
