The dependency on two's complement game is introduced
since the split ring.
In packed ring, old is calculated via:
old = vq->next_avail_idx - vq->num_added;
In split ring, old is calculated via:
old = vq->avail_idx_shadow - vq->num_added;
In both cases, when vq->num_added is bigger, old will
be a big number.
