How do you see the in-kernel API for this? I would like to see
something similar to my previous patches, where we extend
the virtqueue API. E.g. something like this:

struct virtqueue *vring_new_virtqueueh(unsigned int index,
unsigned int num,
unsigned int vring_align,
struct virtio_device *vdev,
bool weak_barriers,
void *pages,
void (*notify)(struct virtqueue *),
void (*callback)(struct virtqueue *),
const char *name);

int virtqueueh_get_iov(struct virtqueue *vqh,
struct vringh_iov *riov,
struct vringh_iov *wiov,
gfp_t gfp);

int virtqueueh_add_iov(struct virtqueue *vqh,
struct vringh_iov *riov,
struct vringh_iov *wiov);

I guess implementation of the host-virtqueue should stay in drivers/virtio?

Regards,
Sjur
