It seems that this patch wont solve this issue, since
rproc_add_virtio_dev eventually increases max_notifyid, so the same
problem will simply occur at a later stage.

Also, it seems that the original rproc_add_virtio_dev calls were not
removed, so devices would be added twice.

If max_notifyid needs to be set before the first virtio device is added,
how about counting the number of notification ids in advance before
adding the devices, by traversing the resource list twice?

Thanks,
Ido.
