2014-05-07net: fix device conformance sectionscornelia.huck
For the network device, we had two device normative sections both called "setting up receive buffers", neither of which was referenced in the conformance section. Let's rename the second one to "processing of packets" which seems to better match the actual contents and reference both of them from the conformance statement for network devices. Resolves VIRTIO-97. Agreed on the 2014/05/06 TC meeting.

2014-03-13VIRTIO-60: avoid vring and VIRTIO_RING.rusty
These are never introduced, so use simpler names: virtq* for structures and VIRTIO_ for features. I added two notes about the old names, for helping people coming from the old spec.

2014-03-13net: clean up mq definition, receive buf size (VIRTIO-84)rusty
1) Instead of using N-1 everywhere, use N, and start receiveq etc at 1. This is less C like, but less confusing in english. 2) Weaken requirements for automatic steering to SHOULD, as otherwise we're insisting device record all flows forever. 3) Receive buffers must be able to hold data, so must be > header.

2014-03-13VIRTIO-62: Explicit and specific.rusty
Avoid these words where they are redundant. This also lead me to notice that we were not consistent in the use of the term "device-specific configuration" in the PCI section, so cleaned that up too.

2014-02-26ccw: Fix requirements for processing adapter interrupts.rusty
We currently mandate that the driver clears the summary indicator before processing the queue indicator; this is bogus, as the requirement for interrupt avoidance is rather that the driver unsets the summary indicator before before it stops looking at the queue indicator. In fact, the best way to get a race-free implementation of the interrupt handler is to process the queue indicators twice; let's add a recommondation to do that.
