During testing zerocopy (out of order completion), I found driver may
submit two identical buffer id to vhost. So the above code may not work
well.

Consider the case that driver adds 3 buffer and virtqueue size is 8.

a) id = 0,count = 2,next_avail = 2

b) id = 2,count = 4,next_avail = 2
next_avail should be 6 here.

c) id = 4,count = 2,next_avail = 0
id should be 6 here.

Thanks

if packet b is done before packet a, driver may think buffer id 0 is
available and try to use it if even if the real buffer 0 was not done.

Thanks
Nice catch! Thanks a lot!
I'll implement an ID allocator.
