From: Jing Liu
Subject: [virtio-dev] [PATCH v2 1/5] virtio-mmio: Add feature bit for MMIO notification
Date: Tue, 21 Jan 2020 21:54:29 +0800

All the queues notifications use the same register on MMIO transport
layer. Add a feature bit (39) for enhancing the notification capability.
The detailed mechanism would be in next patch.
