No virtio_dev_init is called too late, after interrupt handling
threads are spawned.

/* Launch threads, called at application init(). */
int
rte_eal_init(int argc, char **argv)
{
	int i, fctret, ret;
...
	if (rte_eal_intr_init() < 0)
		rte_panic("Cannot init interrupt-handling thread\n");
...
	
	if (rte_eal_dev_init() < 0)
		rte_panic("Cannot init pmd devices\n"
