Actually, that points to a flaw in the code.  When we shut down the
queue, we should ideally reset it to what the device started with,
rather than 0.

See below.

That part's definitely correct: applied.

Thanks,
Rusty.

Subjet: virtio_pci: save the desired ringsize.

MST points out that 0 isn't a power of 2.  This means we can't re-open
a virtio device once we write 0 into the queue length.

We should restore the amount the device originally asked for.
