There's no need for such consistency especially consider it's a new kind of ring. Anyway, you can stick to it.

Well, it works for this patch but my reply was for "set anything to buffer ID". The size of desc_state is limited, so in fact you can't use a value greater than vq.num.

Let's wait for Michael's comment here. Generally, I fail to understand why vring_init() become a part of uapi. Git grep shows the only use cases are virtio_test/vringh_test.
