[PATCH V8 00/19] virtio_ring in order support

[Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com>]

Hello all:

This sereis tries to implement the VIRTIO_F_IN_ORDER to
virtio_ring. This is done by introducing virtqueue ops so we can
implement separate helpers for different virtqueue layout/features
then the in-order were implemented on top.

Tests shows 2%-19% imporvment with packed virtqueue PPS with KVM guest
vhost-net/testpmd on the host.

Changes since v7:

- Rebase on vhost.git linux-next branch
- Tweak the comment to explain the usage of free_head

Changes since V6:

- Rebase on vhost.git linux-next branch
- Fix poking packed virtqueue in more_used_split_in_order()
- Fix calling detach_buf_packed_in_order() unconditonally in
  virtqueue_detach_unused_buf_packed()
- Typo and indentation fixes
- Fix wrong changelog of patch 7

Changes since V5:

- rebase on vhost.git linux-next branch
- reorder the total_len to reduce memory comsuming

Changes since V4:

- Fix build error when DEBUG is enabled
- Fix function duplications
- Remove unnecessary new lines

Changes since V3:

- Re-benchmark with the recent vhost-net in order support
- Rename the batched used id and length
- Other minor tweaks

Changes since V2:

- Fix build warning when DEBUG is enabled

Changes since V1:

- use const global array of function pointers to avoid indirect
  branches to eliminate retpoline when mitigation is enabled
- fix used length calculation when processing used ids in a batch
- fix sparse warnings
