[PATCH v2 0/2] Add VIRTIO_RING_F_LARGE_INDIRECT_DESC

[Christian Schoenebeck <qemu_oss@crudebyte.com>]

This is a follow-up of:
https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/virtio-comment/202111/msg00059.html

These two patches introduce a more fine graded control over the maximum
length of an indirect descriptor table.

Associated Github Task:
https://github.com/oasis-tcs/virtio-spec/issues/122

v1 -> v2:

  * "active/pending message(s)" -> "vring slot(s)"
    NOTE: I decided to use the term "vring slot(s)" over the previously
    suggested term "buffer(s)" as I found tha latter too ambiguous in this
    context. [patch 1]

  * "... but does not oppose a limit to the actual bulk data size
    being transmitted."
    ->
    " ... but does not oppose a limit to the actual bulk data size
    being transmitted when indirect descriptors are used." [patch 1]

  * Add common configuration field "queue_indirect_size" and make it
    mandatory as of revision 3. [NEW patch 2]
