Yes but then both virtio-net driver and virtio core can ask to enable
and disable and then we need some kind of synchronization which is
non-trivial.
And device enabling on the core is different from bringing the device
up in the networking subsystem. Here we just delay to deal with the
config change interrupt on ndo_open(). (E.g try to ack announce is
meaningless when the device is down).
