It can result in a userland visible change, yes. Protecting it for the
next version, thanks for pointing it out!

I don't think you can "break" any valid userspace VDUSE actually, the
only change the userland VDUSE can see is if calls
VDUSE_IOTLB_GET_FD2, set the vq group in VDUSE_VQ_SETUP, set the asid
in VDUSE_IOTLB_GET_INFO, or similar. In that case, the userland device
gets -ENOIOCTLCMD or -EINVAL and suddenly something "valid" happens if
the kernel applies this patch. But it is an userland visible change
anyway, so I'll protect it for the next version.

Thanks!
