Some questions here:

- Did we need reset the affinity of the queue here like the this?

virtqueue_set_affinity(vi->sq[*per_cpu_ptr(vi->vq_index, hcpu)], -1);
virtqueue_set_affinity(vi->rq[*per_cpu_ptr(vi->vq_index, hcpu)], -1);

- Looks like we need also reset the percpu index when
vi->affinity_hint_set is false.
- Does this really need this reset? Consider we're going to reset the
percpu in CPU_DEAD?

Thanks
