[PATCH v4 0/6] virtio: drop sizing vqs during init

[Michael S. Tsirkin]

Supplying size during init does not work for all transports.
In fact for legacy pci doing that causes a memory
corruption which was reported on Google Cloud.

We might get away with changing size to size_hint so it's
safe to ignore and then fixing legacy to ignore the hint.

But the benefit is unclear in any case, so let's revert for now.
Any new version will have to come with
- documentation of performance gains
- performance testing showing existing workflows
  are not harmed materially. especially ones with
  bursty traffic
- report of testing on legacy devices


Huge shout out to Andres Freund for the effort spent reproducing and
debugging!  Thanks to Guenter Roeck for help with testing!
