I's sorry I don't understand this comment.
In order means device use descriptors in the same order as they been available.
So we should iterate the descriptor table and calculte the next desc which will be used,
because we don't use used ring now.

We don't use used ring for in order feature.
N descriptors in descriptor table from vq->split.next_batch_desc_begin have been used.
N is vq->split.vring.used->idx - vq->last_used_idx (haven't consider ring problem for short).
