I have the following patch (works for me on ccw as well). I'm worried
about the slowness you're seeing, though. Is this just with an iscsi
backing?

Subject: [PATCH] virtio: deassign ioeventfd before resetting handler

We should unassign the transport's ioeventfd backing before
resetting the handler, or we may use notifications.

Strange enough now neither my nor your version of the fix work for
me anymore...

I can only reproduce with iSCSI. Neither QCOW2, RAW or NBD work.

I think it could have to do with the iSCSI event handler.
