Or you can do it in do_vm_stop().

How about other handlers (especially kvm/xen specific ones)? If not,
looks like vm_start() is a more safer place since all handlers were
called before.

This is true only if there's no dependency. Virtio has a generic vmstate
change handler, a subtle change of your patch is even if vhost is
enabled, during vm start qemu will still process packets since you can
qemu_flush_queued_packets() before vhost_net is started (since virtio
vmstate change handler is called after). So probably we need only do
purging which can eliminate the processing during vm start.
