Doing this may not be a good thing based on the kernel rules I have

We are waiting here for an external entity (Host kernel) or a firmware
that uses virtio for transport. If the other side is hacked, it can
make the kernel hang here for ever. I thought that is something that
the kernel should never do.


I'm also worried about this. We may be able to solve it by setting a big

timeout value in the driver.
