    virtio: add api for delayed callbacks · 7ab358c2

    Add an API that tells the other side that callbacks
    should be delayed until a lot of work has been done.
    Implement using the new event_idx feature.
    
    Note: it might seem advantageous to let the drivers
    ask for a callback after a specific capacity has
    been reached. However, as a single head can
    free many entries in the descriptor table,
    we don't really have a clue about capacity
    until get_buf is called. The API is the simplest
    to implement at the moment, we'll see what kind of
    hints drivers can pass when there's more than one
    user of the feature.
