virtio: document functions better.
The old documentation is left over from when we used a structure with
strategy pointers.
And move the documentation to the C file as per kernel practice.
Though I disagree...

29 | * operations for virtqueue | ||
30 | * virtqueue_add_buf: expose buffer to other end | ||
31 | * vq: the struct virtqueue we're talking about. | ||
32 | * sg: the description of the buffer(s). | ||
33 | * out_num: the number of sg readable by other side | ||
34 | * in_num: the number of sg which are writable (after readable ones) | ||
35 | * data: the token identifying the buffer. | ||
36 | * gfp: how to do memory allocations (if necessary). | ||
37 | * Returns remaining capacity of queue (sg segments) or a negative error. | ||
38 | * virtqueue_kick: update after add_buf | ||
39 | * vq: the struct virtqueue | ||
40 | * After one or more add_buf calls, invoke this to kick the other side. | ||
41 | * virtqueue_get_buf: get the next used buffer | ||
42 | * vq: the struct virtqueue we're talking about. | ||
43 | * len: the length written into the buffer | ||
44 | * Returns NULL or the "data" token handed to add_buf. | ||
45 | * virtqueue_disable_cb: disable callbacks | ||
46 | * vq: the struct virtqueue we're talking about. | ||
47 | * Note that this is not necessarily synchronous, hence unreliable and only | ||
48 | * useful as an optimization. | ||
49 | * virtqueue_enable_cb: restart callbacks after disable_cb. | ||
50 | * vq: the struct virtqueue we're talking about. | ||
51 | * This re-enables callbacks; it returns "false" if there are pending | ||
52 | * buffers in the queue, to detect a possible race between the driver | ||
53 | * checking for more work, and enabling callbacks. | ||
54 | * virtqueue_enable_cb_delayed: restart callbacks after disable_cb. | ||
55 | * vq: the struct virtqueue we're talking about. | ||
56 | * This re-enables callbacks but hints to the other side to delay | ||
57 | * interrupts until most of the available buffers have been processed; | ||
58 | * it returns "false" if there are many pending buffers in the queue, | ||
59 | * to detect a possible race between the driver checking for more work, | ||
60 | * and enabling callbacks. | ||
61 | * virtqueue_detach_unused_buf: detach first unused buffer | ||
62 | * vq: the struct virtqueue we're talking about. | ||
63 | * Returns NULL or the "data" token handed to add_buf | ||
64 | * virtqueue_get_vring_size: return the size of the virtqueue's vring | ||
65 | * vq: the struct virtqueue containing the vring of interest. | ||
66 | * Returns the size of the vring. | ||
67 | * | ||
68 | * Locking rules are straightforward: the driver is responsible for | ||
69 | * locking. No two operations may be invoked simultaneously, with the exception | ||
70 | * of virtqueue_disable_cb. | ||
71 | * | ||
72 | * All operations can be called in any context. | ||
