Users may call vring_new_virtqueue() with preallocated
memory to setup the ring, e.g.:

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/11da3a7f84f1/drivers/s390/virtio/virtio_ccw.c#L513-L522
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/11da3a7f84f1/drivers/misc/mic/vop/vop_main.c#L306-L307

Below is the corresponding definition in split ring:

https://github.com/oasis-tcs/virtio-spec/blob/89dd55f5e606/split-ring.tex#L64-L78

If my understanding is correct, this is just for legacy
interfaces, and we won't define layout in packed ring
and don't need to support vring_new_virtqueue() in packed
ring. Is it correct? Thanks!
