Subject: [PATCH] virtio_pci: fix capability format, comments

- queue size can actually be 0 which is not a power of 2
- fix capability format. PCI spec says:
The layout of the information is vendor specific, except that the byte
immediately following the “Next” pointer in the capability structure is
defined to be a length field.
This length field provides the number of bytes in the capability
structure (including the ID and Next pointer bytes).

This patch is on top of the new layout branch, too

Actually, that points to a flaw in the code. When we shut down the
queue, we should ideally reset it to what the device started with,
rather than 0.

See below.

That part's definitely correct: applied.

Thanks,
Rusty.

Subjet: virtio_pci: save the desired ringsize.

MST points out that 0 isn't a power of 2. This means we can't re-open
a virtio device once we write 0 into the queue length.

We should restore the amount the device originally asked for.
