[PATCH 5/6] virtio: fail adding buffer on broken queues.

From: Rusty Russell
Date: Tue Jan 14 2014 - 21:45:14 EST


Heinz points out that adding buffers to a broken virtqueue (which
should "never happen") still works. Failing allows drivers to detect
and complain about broken devices.

Now drivers are robust, we can add this extra check.
