Maybe we could avoid adding SPLIT and PACKED, but define as follow:

#define VRING_DESC_F_INDIRECT_SHIFT 2
#define VRING_DESC_F_INDIRECT (1ull <<  VRING_DESC_F_INDIRECT_SHIFT)

#define VRING_DESC_F_AVAIL_SHIFT 7
#define VRING_DESC_F_AVAIL (1ull << VRING_DESC_F_AVAIL_SHIFT)

I think it would be better for consistency.
