Hi Michael,

I am not sure to understand the problem so I may propose a wrong
solution but, let's try:

Would a callback registration instead of a weak function solve the problem?
The registrating function in core could test a parameter to check if the
callback is in sync with the VIRTIO core.

What do you think?

Regards,
Pierre
