Right, although most likely VQs become ready only after all map changes
occur becuase I did not encounter any issue while testing.

There is no clear_virtqueues() function. You probably mean to insert a
call in mlx5_vdpa_set_status() in case it performs reset. This function
will go over all virtqueues and clear their ready flag.

Alternatively we can add boolean argument to teardown_driver() that
signifies if we are in reset flow and in this case we clear ready.
