  The driver can suppress interrupt when VIRTIO_F_EVENT_IDX feature bit is
negotiated. The driver set vring flags to 0, and MAY use used_event in
available ring to advise device interrupt util reach an index specified
by used_event. The device ignore the lower bit of vring flags, and send
an interrupt when index reach used_event.

The device can suppress notification in a manner analogous to the ways
driver suppress interrupt. The device manipulates flags or avail_event in
the used ring in the same way the driver manipulates flags or used_event in
available ring.

This patch is to enable this feature in vhost.

Signed-off-by: Junjie Chen <junjie.j.chen@intel.com>

v6: 
Use volatile qualifier to access avail event idx.

v5:
Remove updating avail event index in backend.

v2-v4:
Use definition of VIRTIO_F_EVENT_IDX from kernel.

You need put "---" before the change log. Otherwise, it will be tracked in
the commit log.

It's a bit weird that you use one from the standard linux header file
(vring_need_event), while you define you own one (vhost_used_event).
Note that the system header file also has "vring_used_event()" defined.

Besides that, I have few more comments (and some requirements):

- It'd be much better if there is a Tested-by tag. Expeclitly,
  I'm asking a test with Linux kernel virtio-net driver in guest.

- I also hope you could have done a build test on some old distributions.
  AFAIK, the two macros (vring_need_event and vring_used_event) come
  from kernel 3.0 (or above). Any kernel older than that would fail
  the build.

- I'd be great if you could make a new one based on top of my latest
  tree: I have just applied a patchset that should conflict with this
  one.

The vring_used_event is defined and used for virtio in kernel, kernel defines a vhost_used_event in vhost.c for vhost, so I just use a separated macro for vhost end.

I'd like to define both vhost_need_event and vhost_used_event in vhost.h to remove potential build issue in old linux distribution and also to keep consistent. Is that OK for you?
