virtio_config.h is updatd already and virtio_ring.h does not add any
flag definition that we're missing.

The flags I was missing are
+#define VIRTIO_F_IN_ORDER 35
+#define VIRTIO_F_NOTIFICATION_DATA 38

and both of these do not appear in the linux headers. They appear as
block specific flags:

drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/mcdi_pcol.h:21471:#define VIRTIO_BLK_CONFIG_VIRTIO_F_IN_ORDER_LBN 35
drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/mcdi_pcol.h:21480:#define VIRTIO_BLK_CONFIG_VIRTIO_F_NOTIFICATION_DATA_LBN 38

So I just defined these two in vdpa.c (in patch v1).
