Current devices do not support that semantic. My plan was to convert
it in vp_vdpa if needed, and reuse the current vdpa ops. Sorry if I
was not explicit enough.

The only solution I can see to that is to trap & emulate in the vdpa
(parent?) driver, as talked in virtio-comment. But that complicates
the architecture:
* Offer VHOST_BACKEND_F_RING_ACCESS_AFTER_KICK
* Store vq enable state separately, at
vdpa->config->set_vq_ready(true), but not transmit that enable to hw
* Store the doorbell state separately, but do not configure it to the
device directly.

But how to recover if the device cannot configure them at kick time,
for example?

Maybe we can just fail if the parent driver does not support enabling
the vq after DRIVER_OK? That way no new feature flag is needed.

Thanks!
