The viostor virtio-blk driver for Windows does not use the VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER bit. It only sets the VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK bit.
The viostor driver refreshes the virtio-pci status byte sometimes while the guest is running. We misinterpret 0x4 (VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK) as an indication that virtio-blk-data-plane should be stopped since 0x2 (VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER) is missing. The result is that the device becomes unresponsive.
