  This patch implements the vhost logic from scratch into a single function
designed for high performance and better maintainability.

---
Changes in v3:

 1. Rewrite enqueue and delete the obsolete in the same patch.

Creating a function just for doing this doesn't make much sense.
And the function name doesn't help.
I think you should just remove this function.

Most of these variables don't need to be initialized.

Parenthesis around virtio_hdr->hdr shouldn't be needed.

Looks like you remove the PRINT_PACKET calls.
Does it impact performance?
In any case, it should be mentionned in the commit message.

Please avoid while(1) when you can check for a real condition:
while (mbuf_avail || mbuf->next) ?

Compiler should optimize this properly, no?

you could goto directly to error, and decrement last_used_idx directly
under "error"'s goto since extra_buffers will be zero otherwise.

Also, except desc_current affectation, all the above code is common
with mergeable case, so you should avoid duplication.

All this code is duplicatedd from the rx_mergeable base.
I think a dedicated inline function would really make sense here.

If (!is_mrg_rxbuf), extra_buffers will be zero, so just remove the test,
and place belw line directly under error: as explained above.

Yes, it does. But it's only enabled for debug mode. Besides that,
it's just a NOOP.

Agreed. But for this case, we should not remove it: it breaks the
debug-ability.
