I see that as compared to my original patch, you have
added a new flag: VRING_AVAIL_F_NO_URGENT_INTERRUPT
I don't think it's necessary, see below.

As such, I think this patch should be split:
- original patch adding support for urgent descriptors
- a patch adding virtqueue_enable/disable_cb_urgent(_prepare)?

You can implement virtqueue_enable_cb_prepare_urgent
simply by clearing ~VRING_AVAIL_F_NO_INTERRUPT.

The effect is same: host sends interrupts only if there
is an urgent descriptor.
