With the new used_event and avail_event and features, both
host and guest need similar logic to check whether events are
enabled, so it helps to put the common code in the header.
Note that Xen has similar logic for notification hold-off
in include/xen/interface/io/ring.h with req_event and req_prod
corresponding to event_idx + 1 and new_idx respectively.
+1 comes from the fact that req_event and req_prod in Xen start at 1,
while event index in virtio starts at 0.

Define a new feature bit for the guest and host to utilize
an event index (like Xen) instead if a flag bit to enable/disable
interrupts and kicks.

It's unclear to me if it's important, but it's obviously causing my
technical colleages some headaches and I'd hate such imprecision to
slow virtio adoption.
I've emailed this to all non-trivial contributors for approval, too.

I've been doing this for years, and akpm picked me up on it about 12
months ago. lguest partly serves as example code, so let's do it Right.
Also, remove two unused fields in struct vblk_info in the example launcher.

Add a new feature flag for indirect ring entries. These are ring
entries which point to a table of buffer descriptors.
The idea here is to increase the ring capacity by allowing a larger
effective ring size whereby the ring size dictates the number of
requests that may be outstanding, rather than the size of those
requests.
This should be most effective in the case of block I/O where we can
potentially benefit by concurrently dispatching a large number of
large requests. Even in the simple case of single segment block
requests, this results in a threefold increase in ring capacity.

Add a linked list of all virtqueues for a virtio device: this helps for
debugging and is also needed for upcoming interface change.
Also, add a "name" field for clearer debug messages.

This allows each virtio user to hand in the alignment appropriate to
their virtio_ring structures.

It's really the alignment desired for consumer/producer separation;
historically this x86 pagesize, but with PowerPC it'll still be x86
pagesize. And in theory lguest could choose a different value.

To prepare for virtio_ring transport feature bits, hook in a call in
all the users to manipulate them. This currently just clears all the
bits, since it doesn't understand any features.

The other side (host) can set the NO_NOTIFY flag as an optimization,
to say "no need to kick me when you add things". Make it clear that
this is advisory only; especially that we should always notify when
the ring is full.

Using unsigned int resulted in silent truncation of the upper 32-bit
on x86_64 resulting in an OOPS since the ring was being initialized
wrong.
Please reconsider my previous patch to just use PAGE_ALIGN(). Open
coding this sort of stuff, no matter how simple it seems, is just
asking for this sort of trouble.

It seems that virtio_net wants to disable callbacks (interrupts) before
calling netif_rx_schedule(), so we can't use the return value to do so.
Rename "restart" to "cb_enable" and introduce "cb_disable" hook: callback
now returns void, rather than a boolean.

The virtio descriptor rings of size N-1 were nicely set up to be
aligned to an N-byte boundary. But as Anthony Liguori points out, the
free-running indices used by virtio require that the sizes be a power
of 2, otherwise we get problems on wrap (demonstrated with lguest).
So we replace the clever "2^n-1" scheme with a simple "align to page
boundary" scheme: this means that all virtio rings take at least two
pages, but it's safer than guessing cache alignment.

This patch fixes a typo in vring_init(). This happens to work today in lguest
because the sizeof(struct vring_desc) is 16 and struct vring contains 3
pointers and an unsigned int so on 32-bit
sizeof(struct vring_desc) == sizeof(struct vring). However, this is no longer
true on 64-bit where the bug is exposed.

These helper routines supply most of the virtqueue_ops for hypervisors
which want to use a ring for virtio. Unlike the previous lguest
implementation:
1) The rings are variable sized (2^n-1 elements).
2) They have an unfortunate limit of 65535 bytes per sg element.
3) The page numbers are always 64 bit (PAE anyone?)
4) They no longer place used[] on a separate page, just a separate
cacheline.
5) We do a modulo on a variable. We could be tricky if we cared.
6) Interrupts and notifies are suppressed using flags within the rings.
Users need only get the ring pages and provide a notify hook (KVM
wants the guest to allocate the rings, lguest does it sanely).
