OvmfPkg: VirtioScsiDxe: reset device at ExitBootServices()
(1) VirtioLib allocates the virtio ring in EfiBootServicesData memory.
(This is intentional.) Code that executes after ExitBootServices() is
permitted to reuse such memory.
(2) The hypervisor is allowed to look at, and act upon, a live virtio ring
at any time, even without explicit virtio kicks from the guest.
Should boot loader code or kernel code, running between ExitBootServices()
and the kernel's own virtio drivers resetting the device, overwrite the
pages that used to contain the virtio ring before ExitBootServices(), QEMU
could theoretically interpret that unrelated data as garbage ring
contents, and abort the guest.
Although we have seen no such reports, better be prudent and reset the
device in an ExitBootServices() event handler. Among other things, this
causes QEMU to forget about the device's virtio ring.
