Subject: Writes to the Device Status field race with DEVICE_NEEDS_RESET
As far as I understand the Virtio 1.1 spec, a driver must not clear any bit in the Device Status field when it writes a non-zero value. How can it comply with this requirement, when the device may be concurrently setting DEVICE_NEEDS_RESET? There does not seem to be any facility to atomically set some bits and leave the others unchanged.
