"does not take care of QDIO", surely? (Also, what does "any devices"
mean? Do you mean "every arbitrary device", perhaps?)

Hm...

This means that vring structures now need to fit into 31 bits as well,
I think? Is there any way to reserve the 31 bit restriction for channel
subsystem structures and keep vring in the full 64 bit range? (Or am I
fundamentally misunderstanding something?)
