[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] virtio: add ORDER_PLATFORM feature support

[Ilya Maximets]

This patch adds new property "order_platform" which is required to
allow VIRTIO_F_ORDER_PLATFORM feature negotiation. Disabled by
default because needed only for HW assited vhost backends.

Enabling of this feature will request guest drivers to use heavier
(platform dependent) techniques for memory ordering if negotiated.

Note: Patch to change the name of the feature from VIRTIO_F_IO_BARRIER
      to VIRTIO_F_ORDER_PLATFORM is not merged yet:
