This is a win8 feature that has been implemented. Turn on the feature bit
to enable the feature. With this feature turned on, when the host is waiting
for space to become available on the ringbuffer (host to guest), the guest
will interrupt the host when space becomes available (as part of draining
the ring buffer).
