This patch series adds the notification queue to the VIRTIO specification. This new virtqueue carries device->driver FUSE notify messages. They are currently unused but will be necessary for file locking, which can block for an unbounded amount of time and therefore needs a asynchronous completion event instead of a request/response buffer that consumes space in the request virtqueue until the operation completes.
Patch 1 corrects an oversight I noticed: the file system device was not added to the Conformance chapter.
