Yes, sure. Wanted to send a new version anyways :)

While the diff to v1 is pretty small, I did a quick test again and found
no obvious issue, while it still fixes my reproducer.

Yes, there were some changes in the meantime and while a backport might
be removing the event_notifier_set() call from
virtio_blk_data_plane_start(), with the current code, there also is a
smp_wmb() and aio_context_acquire(s->ctx) in between
event_notifier_set() and virtio_queue_aio_attach_host_notifier(), so not
sure if that's okay in all scenarios. I don't think the backport is
necessary, because setting the event notifier twice will just kick the
virt queue twice.
