Yeah, I agree.

Pre-existing issue, but should we handle the wrap (e.g. fwd_cnt wrapped,
but last_fwd_cnt not yet?). Maybe in that case we can foce the status
update.

Yep, I agree.

But does it make sense to allow a buffer smaller than
VIRTIO_VSOCK_MAX_PKT_BUF_SIZE?
Maybe we should fail in virtio_transport_notify_buffer_size() or use it
as minimum.
