For example, if the driver is crazy enough to put all write requests on one queue and all barriers on another one, how is the device supposed to ensure ordering?
I agree here, in fact I misread Hannes's comment as "if a driver uses more than one queue it is responsibility of the driver to ensure strict request ordering". If you send requests to different queues, you know that those requests are independent. I don't think anything else is feasible in the virtio framework.
