I can change it to bool if you want.

Michael suggested to lay out the code as:

XXX_split

XXX_packed

XXX wrappers

https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/4/13/410

That's why I moved some code.

Okay.

Do we still need to support:

include/linux/virtio.h
/*
 * Legacy accessors -- in almost all cases, these are the wrong functions
 * to use.
 */
static inline void *virtqueue_get_desc(struct virtqueue *vq)
{
        return virtqueue_get_vring(vq)->desc;
}
static inline void *virtqueue_get_avail(struct virtqueue *vq)
{
        return virtqueue_get_vring(vq)->avail;
}
static inline void *virtqueue_get_used(struct virtqueue *vq)
{
        return virtqueue_get_vring(vq)->used;
}

in packed ring?

If so, I think maybe it's better to expose them as
symbols and implement them in virtio_ring.c.
