If in order feature negotiated, we can skip the used ring to get
buffer's desc id sequentially.

Let's rename the patch to something like "in order support for 
virtio_ring"

I don't see packed support in this patch, we need to implement that.
It will be implemented later.

Let's add a comment to explain why we don't need anything if in order 
is neogitated.
LGTM.

Let's don't depend on the descriptor ring which is under the control 
of the malicious hypervisor.

Let's use desc_extra that is not visible by the hypervisor. More can 
be seen in this commit:

72b5e8958738 ("virtio-ring: store DMA metadata in desc_extra for split 
virtqueue")
LGTM, I will use desc_extra in new version patch.

I'm not sure I get the logic here, basically I think we should check 
buffer instead of descriptor here.
Because the vq->last_used_idx != vq->split.vring.used->idx, So the 
virtio driver know these has at least one used descriptor. the 
descriptor's id is vq->split.next_batch_desc_begin because of in order. 
Then we have to traverse the descriptor chain and point 
vq->split.next_batch_desc_begin to next used descriptor.

Thanks.
So if vring.used->ring[last_used].id != last_used, we know all 
[last_used, vring.used->ring[last_used].id] have been used in a batch?

So spec said:

"

The skipped buffers (for which no used ring entry was written) are 
assumed to have been used (read or written) by the device completely.


"

Thanks
The driver will need len in used ring to get buffer size. However in 
order will not write len of each buffer in used ring. So I will tried 
pass len of buffer in device header.
