They are just wrappers to make ptr ring works like a virtio ring. We can
split them out into another file if necessary.

So ringtest is used for bench-marking the ring performance for different
format. Virtio is only one of the supported ring format, ptr ring is
another. Wrappers were used to reuse the same test logic.
Though you may see host/guest in the test, it's in fact done via two
processes.
We need figure out:
1) why the current ringtest.c does not fit for your requirement (it has
SPSC test)
2) why can't we tweak the ptr_ring.c to be used by both ring_test and
your benchmark
If neither of the above work, we can invent new ptr_ring infrastructure
under tests/
