[PATCH v3 0/2] virtio: alignment issues

From: Michael S. Tsirkin

This is an alternative to
vhost: force spec specified alignment on types
which is a bit safer as it does not change UAPI.
I still think it's best to change the UAPI header as well,
we can do that as a follow-up cleanup.

Changes from v2:
don't change struct name, instead add ifndef
so kernel does not see the legacy UAPI version.

Jason, can you pls ack one of the approaches?

virtio: stop using legacy struct vring in kernel
vhost: force spec specified alignment on types
