Subject: [virtio] [PATCH v10 08/13] split-ring: generalize text
Date: Fri, 9 Mar 2018 23:23:34 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1520629942-36324-9-git-send-email-mst@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1520629942-36324-1-git-send-email-mst@redhat.com>

Update generic text to talk about available/used buffers, not rings.
Move some split-ring specific text to the correct section.

Update conformance section with link to the new conformance clause.
