But I didn't see any problems with touching the memory for virtqueues.
The memory should not be freed after dma unmap?

And the memory for the bounce buffer should also be safe to be
accessed by userspace in this case.

You're right. But I didn't see where the interrupt handler will use
the vblk->vdev.

So it seems to be not too late to fix it:
