I'd take it back for the moment, according to Jason's latest comment.
Discussion still going.

This is where things starts getting interesting. According to Jason, the
original expectation of this API would be to restore the internal
last_avail_index in the hardware. With Mellanox network vDPA hardware
implementation, there's no such last_avail_index thing in the hardware
but only a single last_used_index representing both indices, which
should always be the same and in sync with each other. So from migration
point of view, it appears logical to restore the saved last_avail_index
to the last_used_index in the hardware, right? But what is the point to
restore mvq->avail_idx?

Actually, this code path is being repurposed to address the index reset
problem in the device reset scenario. Where the mvq->avail_idx and
mvq->used_idx are both reset to 0 once device is reset. This is a bit
crossing the boundary to me.

This is where the last_used_index gets loaded from the hardware (when
device is stopped).

This code path never gets called from userspace (when device is running).
