desc is no longer initialized here

Will fix.

It seems unlikely this was always 0 on all paths with even
a small amount of stress, so now I question how this was tested.
Besides, do not ignore compiler warnings, and do not tweak code
to just make compiler shut up - they are your friend.

I agree.

Normally I do this by make W=12, but we have too many message,
so I missed this.

	make W=12 drivers/net/virtio_net.o drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.o

If not W=12, then I did not get any warning message.
How do you get the message quickly?

Thanks.
