Subject: [PATCH 1/1] virt: ack_flush() function removed for lack of apparent use 2.6.37-rc1

Hello

Ack_flush function () is not used anywhere in the code and apparently has no function currently defined.

Unless there are plans to use it in the future, I took it out via this patch code for readability.

It is in use:
