I find the name "ready" unclear, I believe it will be true to indicate
that the message queue is not full (i.e. Gunyah is ready to receive
another message?)

Naming it "full" and reversing the values would make this immediately
obvious.

And this "ready" seems to be "more data available". Naming it "empty",
and reversing the values, would make this obvious.


Perhaps when working with the hypercalls on a regular basis it makes
sense to not invert the value space...renaming the two "ready" would be
beneficial regardless.

Unless the flags are growing, passing this as a bool push instead of a
flag field seems reasonable.

Please wrap things to 80 characters, unless going a little bit over
makes things more readable.
