This tells 'what', but not 'why'. Please add some more description. For the generic virtio ports case, at least, my original thinking was to not send random guest data to the host device. However, we don't have any device isolation in the host yet, and doing that will be expensive, so it's not going to be done in the near future.. this can be safely skipped.
Also, please make this patch 1/3, so we don't end up doing
kzalloc->kmalloc+memset->kmalloc
