I submit one split patch for review to make sure that's the right format. I copied Rusty's comment for the commit message, and change destroy to detach since we destroy the buffers in caller. This patch is built against Dave's net-next tree. There's currently no way for a virtio driver to ask for unused buffers, so it has to keep a list itself to reclaim them at shutdown. This is redundant, since virtio_ring stores that information. So add a new hook to do this: virtio_net will be the first user.
