Yes da is updated after coprocessor boot, but before vdev status in resource table is set to DRIVER_OK and kick.
Coprocessor should not parse this resource before as vrings not initialized yet.
If coprocessor needs to get some information about vring carveout at boot time, carveout resources named vdev"x"vring"y" should be added to firmware resource table.
In that case information will be filled before coprocessor boot.
