  As new_device and destroy_device use an int instead of a "struct virtio_net *",
The comment about setting VIRTIO_DEV_RUNNING doesn't make sense anymore, plus
If I've correctly understand the code, the drivers take care of
setting the flag before calling the callbacks, so I guess that this comment
is obsolet and I've remove it.

Yes, it is. The flag had been moved for internal use since commit
550c9d27d143 ("vhost: set/reset device flags internally").

So, thanks and applied to dpdk-next-virtio.
