Hi,

This patch set implements packed ring support in virtio driver.

A performance test between pktgen (pktgen_sample03_burst_single_flow.sh)
and DPDK vhost (testpmd/rxonly/vhost-PMD) has been done, I saw
~30% performance gain in packed ring in this case.

To make this patch set work with below patch set for vhost,
some hacks are needed to set the _F_NEXT flag in indirect
descriptors (this should be fixed in vhost):

I went over it and I think it's correct spec-wise.

I have some ideas for enhancements but let's start
with getting this stuff merged first.
