Looks like this needs to check and just skip the write if
ready == 0, right? Of course vdpa core then insists on calling
vp_vdpa_get_vq_ready which will warn. Maybe just drop the
check from core, move it to drivers which need it?

This looks like it'll create a mess with either virtio pci
or vdpa being loaded at random. Maybe just don't specify
any IDs for now. Down the road we could get a
distinct vendor ID or a range of device IDs for this.
