Oh indeed, I did not thought of that. What would you recommend ?
If using -1 in free vring, notify ids will be reallocated at next
round.

I was also worried that it would break some existing user applications
which uses "0" as a notify id in vring but expect the id to be
allocated dynamically. With my modification, it means it will try to 
use "0" as a predefined id, leading to allocation failure.

Indeed.

Thanks for your review.
