Do you mean replacing vring_packed_desc_indir by vring_desc_extra?

I am ok for that. But vring_desc_extra has two extra items:

	u16 flags;			/* Descriptor flags. */
	u16 next;			/* The next desc state in a list. */

vring_packed_desc_indir has "desc". I think that is more convenient.

So, I think vring_packed_desc_indir is appropriate.
Or I missed something.


Thanks.
