Note that the above two issues seem to be virtio-console instead of
virtio-input.

And we need to tweak the above a little bit for example what does "in
the virtio_input device" mean. For example does it mean irqfd is not
used etc.

Probably "fix is adding".

Let's explain why this is safe, for example, does it mean the
notifiers initialization will be delayed to DRIVER_OK?
