Vhost devices will always use\ndescriptors in the same order in which they have been made available.\nThis can reduce virtio accesses to used ring.\n\nBased on updated virtio-spec, this series realized IN_ORDER prototype\nin virtio driver. Due to new [RT]x path added into selection, also add\ntwo new parameters mrg_rx and in_order into virtio-user vdev parameters\nlist.
