Hi! I note that chaining INDIRECT descriptors with NEXT currently is broken in lguest, because current ring index gets overwritten. It does not matter with current virtio in guest, but I think it's worth fixing: for example for when we have trouble locating a request in a physically contigious region. Makes sense? -- MST

I could force indirect and reproduce it, but I figure asking you for details would be more efficient :) Thanks! Rusty.
