Subject: [PATCH 1/2] virtio: Add ability to detach unused buffers from vrings

From: Shirley Ma <mashirle@...ibm.com>

There's currently no way for a virtio driver to ask for unused
buffers, so it has to keep a list itself to reclaim them at shutdown.
This is redundant, since virtio_ring stores that information.  So
add a new hook to do this.
