Add an API to check whether there are pending used buffers. There is already a similar API called virtqueue_poll() but it only works together with virtqueue_enable_cb_prepare(). The patches that follow add blk-mq ->poll() support to virtio_blk and they need to check for used buffers without re-enabling virtqueue callbacks, so introduce an API for it. Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>Typo in the subject.
Thanks, will fix.
