These flags\nwill mark if a descriptor is available or used.  To detect new available descriptors\neven after the ring has wrapped, device and driver each have a\nsingle-bit wrap counter that is flipped from 0 to 1 and vice versa every time\nthe last descriptor in the ring is used/made available.\n\nv8-v9:\n * fix virtio_ring_free_chain_packed() to handle descriptors\n   correctly in case of out-of-order\n * fix check in virtqueue_xmit_cleanup_packed() to improve performance\n\nv7->v8:\n * move desc_is_used change to correct patch\n * remove trailing newline\n * correct xmit code, flags update and memory barrier\n * move packed desc init to dedicated function, split\n   and packed variant\n\n\nJens Freimann (8):\n  net/virtio: vring init for packed queues\n  net/virtio: add packed virtqueue defines\n  net/virtio: add packed virtqueue helpers\n  net/virtio: dump packed virtqueue data\n  net/virtio: implement transmit path for packed queues\n  net/virtio: implement receive path for packed queues\n  net/virtio: add virtio send command packed queue support\n  net/virtio: enable packed virtqueues by default\n\n drivers/net/virtio/virtio_ethdev.c | 154 ++++++--\n drivers/net/virtio/virtio_ethdev.h |   5 +\n drivers/net/virtio/virtio_pci.h    |   7 +\n drivers/net/virtio/virtio_ring.h   | 105 +++++-\n drivers/net/virtio/virtio_rxtx.c   | 560 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++--\n drivers/net/virtio/virtqueue.c     |  22 ++\n drivers/net/virtio/virtqueue.h     |  42 ++-\n 7 files changed, 841 insertions(+), 54 deletions(-)"
