virtio_ring: virtqueue_add_sgs, to add multiple sgs.

2013-03-20T05:13:29+00:00

virtio_scsi can really use this, to avoid the current hack of copying
the whole sg array.  Some other things get slightly neater, too.

This causes a slowdown in virtqueue_add_buf(), which is implemented as
a wrapper.  This is addressed in the next patches.

tools/virtio: separate headers more.

This makes them a bit more like the kernel headers, so we can include more
real kernel headers in our tests.

In addition this means that we don't break tools/virtio with the next
patch.
