Subject: [RFC 1/3] virtio_ring: define flags as shifts consistently
Date:   Fri,  7 Dec 2018 16:48:40 +0800
Message-Id: <20181207084842.13133-2-tiwei.bie@intel.com>
In-Reply-To: <20181207084842.13133-1-tiwei.bie@intel.com>
References: <20181207084842.13133-1-tiwei.bie@intel.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

Introduce _SPLIT_ and/or _PACKED_ variants for VRING_DESC_F_*,
VRING_AVAIL_F_NO_INTERRUPT and VRING_USED_F_NO_NOTIFY. These
variants are defined as shifts instead of shifted values for
consistency with other _F_ flags.
