It is the structures defined in the virtio spec in 2.6.6 for the
available ring and 2.6.8 for the used ring. As you know these the
available ring is written to by the driver and read by the device. The
opposite happens for the used index.
The reason I need to restore the last known indices is for the new
hardware objects to sync on the last state and take over from there.
