Subject: [PATCH v4 00/12] virtio: alignment issues

This is an alternative to
	vhost: force spec specified alignment on types
which is a bit safer as it does not change UAPI.
I still think it's best to change the UAPI header as well,
we can do that as a follow-up cleanup.

changes from v3:
	tools/virtio fixes
	a bunch more cleanups that now become possible

Changes from v2:
	don't change struct name, instead add ifndef
	so kernel does not see the legacy UAPI version.

Jason, can you pls ack one of the approaches?

  virtio: add VIRTIO_RING_NO_LEGACY

Michael S. Tsirkin (11):
  tools/virtio: define aligned attribute
  tools/virtio: make asm/barrier.h self contained
  tools/virtio: define __KERNEL__
  virtio: stop using legacy struct vring in kernel
  vhost: force spec specified alignment on types
  virtio: add legacy init/size APIs
  virtio_ring: switch to virtio_legacy_init/size
  tools/virtio: switch to virtio_legacy_init/size
  vop: switch to virtio_legacy_init/size
  remoteproc: switch to virtio_legacy_init/size
  mellanox: switch to virtio_legacy_init/size
