virtio save/load is currently sending last_avail_idx, but inuse isn't.
This causes inconsistent state when using Kemari which replays
outstanding requests on the secondary.  By letting last_avail_idx to
be updated after inuse is decreased, it would be possible to replay
the outstanding requests.  Noth that live migration shouldn't be
affected because it waits until flushing all requests.  Also in
conjunction with event-tap, requests inversion should be avoided.

I think I understood the request inversion. My question now is,
event-tap transfers inuse events as well, wont the same
request be repeated twice?

if there are outstanding emulation -> if requests
are outstanding in event-tap?

I don't understand it, if this is all we do we can equivalently
decrement on the sender side and avoid breaking migration compatibility?
