Yes, I reread the virtio spec. And

2.4.4 says: 
 " The framing of messages with descriptors is independent of the contents of the buffers."

2.4.4.2 says:
 "The driver SHOULD NOT use an excessive number of descriptors to describe a buffer."

For virtio-crypto, I think I can just add a NOTE to remind people using indirect method 
if they want to get better performance in production environment, can I?
