Sure, I will do that.

Yes. If IN_ORDER is negotiated, next won't be needed anymore.
Currently, IN_ORDER isn't included in this patch set, because
some changes for split ring are needed to make sure that it
will use the descs in the expected order. After that,
optimizations can be done for both of split ring and packed
ring respectively.

Good point, I'll do that.

Will do that.

It comes from the `vring_align` parameter of vring_create_virtqueue()
and vring_new_virtqueue():

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/a49a9dcce802/drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.c#L1061
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/a49a9dcce802/drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.c#L1123

Should I just ignore it in packed ring?

CCW defined this:

#define KVM_VIRTIO_CCW_RING_ALIGN 4096

I'm not familiar with CCW. Currently, in this patch set, packed ring
isn't enabled on CCW dues to some legacy accessors are not implemented
in packed ring yet.

Got it. I'd like to do that. Thanks.
