But AFAICT you never *read* dev->config_changed.

You unconditionally trigger a config_changed event in
virtio_config_enable(). That's a bit weird, but probably OK.

How about the following change (on top of your patch). I
think the renaming is clearer, and note the added if() test in
virtio_config_enable().

If you approve, I'll fold it in.

Cheers,
Rusty.
