  This series optimizes the cache usage of virtqueue struct,
by making a "fake" mbuf being dynamically allocated in Rx
virtnet struct, by removing a useless virtuque pointer
into the virtnet structs and by moving a few fields
to pack holes.

With these 3 patches, the virtqueue struct size goes from
576 bytes (9 cachelines) to 248 bytes (4 cachelines).

Changes in v2:
==============
- Rebase on latest main
- Improve error path in virtio_init_queue
- Fix various typos in commit messages

Maxime Coquelin (4):
  net/virtio: remove reference to virtqueue in vrings
  net/virtio: improve queue init error path
  net/virtio: allocate fake mbuf in Rx queue
  net/virtio: pack virtuqueue struct
