So I think at least the commit log needs some tweak.

For split virtqueue. We had:

2.6.5.2 Driver Requirements: The Virtqueue Descriptor Table

Drivers MUST NOT add a descriptor chain longer than 2^32 bytes in total; 
this implies that loops in the descriptor chain are forbidden!

2.6.5.3.1 Driver Requirements: Indirect Descriptors

A driver MUST NOT create a descriptor chain longer than the Queue Size 
of the device.

If I understand the spec correctly, the check is only needed for a 
single indirect descriptor table?

For packed virtqueue. We had:

2.7.17 Driver Requirements: Scatter-Gather Support

A driver MUST NOT create a descriptor list longer than allowed by the 
device.

A driver MUST NOT create a descriptor list longer than the Queue Size.

2.7.19 Driver Requirements: Indirect Descriptors

A driver MUST NOT create a descriptor chain longer than allowed by the 
device.

So it looks to me the packed part is fine.

Note that if I understand the spec correctly 2.7.17 implies 2.7.19.

Thanks
