This patch introduces a helper which just increase the used idx. This
will be used in pair with vhost_prefetch_desc_indices() by batching
code.

Please change the API to hide the fact that there's an index that needs
to be updated.
In fact, an interesting optimization on top is just call
vhost_add_used_idx(vq, n) instead of n vhost_add_used_idx(vq, 1). That's the
reason I leave n in the API.

Thanks
Right but you could increment some internal counter in the vq
structure then update the used index using some api
with a generic name, e.g.  add_used_complete or something like this.


Right, I see.

Thanks
