The virtio spec already supports the virtio queue reset function. This patch set
is to add this function to the kernel. The relevant virtio spec information is
here:

Also regarding MMIO support for queue reset, I plan to support it after this
patch is passed.

So I had an idea, we can implement ethtool_set_ringparam() in this
series to get one real users.

But this came into another question: it looks to me current virito-net
just uses the maximum ring size, so it basically means we just can
decrease the number from startup, so I wonder how much value if we
don't limit the startup queue size to a dedicated value.

Thanks

Please review. Thanks.

v4:
  1. just the code of virtio, without virtio-net
  2. Performing reset on a queue is divided into these steps:
    1. reset_vq: reset one vq
    2. recycle the buffer from vq by virtqueue_detach_unused_buf()
    3. release the ring of the vq by vring_release_virtqueue()
    4. enable_reset_vq: re-enable the reset queue
  3. Simplify the parameters of enable_reset_vq()
  4. add container structures for virtio_pci_common_cfg

v3:
  1. keep vq, irq unreleased
