This needs to be marked as optional I think.

It looks to me the caller should also guarantee that the vring is not 
accsed by any functions e.g NAPI.

Note that we don't have power of 2 requirement for packed virtqueue.

And I wonder if it's cleaner to have a find_vq() ops instead to dealing 
with the re-allocation and possible size change, or have a dedicated 
helper to set vring size so driver can do.

reset_vq()

virtqueue_set_vring_size()

enable_reset_vq()

Note that the current implement is best-effort, so it's not guarantee 
that we can have a vring with ring_num, we may get less under memory 
pressure or even fail. We probably need to have a pamater to mandate the 
ring_num otherwise user may surprise to see a decreased size of the ring 
when a increasing is actually requested.

Thanks
