This patch fixes a typo in vring_init(). This happens to work today in lguest
because the sizeof(struct vring_desc) is 16 and struct vring contains 3
pointers and an unsigned int so on 32-bit
sizeof(struct vring_desc) == sizeof(struct vring). However, this is no longer
true on 64-bit where the bug is exposed.

Thanks, applied.
I've put it in the new, experimental virtio git tree on git.kernel.org.
Cheers,
Rusty.

Hrm, perhaps you forgot to push? I don't see it in the tree although I
see the config ops refactoring.

It should be in the patches/1 branch. I've pushed again...
Thanks,
Rusty.
