Sorry for the delay, I was at Kernel Summit and am only now actually
reading (vs skimming) my backlog.

Putting it in vring_virtqueue rather than virtqueue seems weird, though.
But I've applied as-is, we can clean up that later if we want (probably
by merging the two structures, I'll have to think harder on that).

Acked-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@...tcorp.com.au>

Cheers,
Rusty.
