Yes, we noticed this issue and have disable the hardening feature via:

c346dae4f3fbce51bbd4f2ec5e8c6f9b91e93163 ("virtio: disable
notification hardening by default")
6a9720576cd00d30722c5f755bd17d4cfa9df636 ("virtio:
VIRTIO_HARDEN_NOTIFICATION is broken")

which have been merged in Michael's tree.
