The series is decomposed as:

- use the new methods on vring aligned values (25)
There are some checkpatch errors related to the macro used.
I think we should emphasize the atomicness of the access as opposed to
the alignedness. That's the only thing that's important to virtio.
Thus s/aligned/atomic/g and use qatomic_read/qatomic_set.
OK.
Do you think patches 1-6, 17 (Use correct type sizes) could
go in meanwhile, or should I repost them separately?
