virtio: Add ability to detach unused buffers from vrings
There's currently no way for a virtio driver to ask for unused buffers, so it has to keep a list itself to reclaim them at shutdown. This is redundant, since virtio_ring stores that information. So add a new hook to do this. Signed-off-by: Shirley Ma <xma@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Amit Shah <amit.shah@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Signed-off-by: David S.
