vhost-vdpa and vhost-user differ in how they reset the status in their respective vhost_reset_status implementations: vhost-vdpa zeroes it, then re-adds the S_ACKNOWLEDGE and S_DRIVER config bits. S_DRIVER_OK is then set in vhost_vdpa_dev_start().
vhost-user in contrast just zeroes the status, and does no re-add any config bits until vhost_user_dev_start() (where it does re-add all of S_ACKNOWLEDGE, S_DRIVER, and S_DRIVER_OK). There is no documentation for vhost_reset_status, but its only caller is vhost_dev_stop(). So apparently, the device is to be stopped after vhost_reset_status, and therefore it makes more sense to keep the status field fully cleared until the back-end is re-started, which is how vhost-user does it. Make vhost-vdpa do the same -- if nothing else it's confusing to have both vhost implementations handle this differently.
