Resolve Issue #26: virtio: support passing extra data in kick

Should the TC accept changes listed in the description to resolve issue 26, for inclusion in specification version(s) "virtio-v1.1-cs01", and future versions of the specification?

Please vote Yes if you agree with all of the following.
If you disagree, please vote No.
If you don't have an opinion, please vote Abstain.

I move that:
The TC agrees to resolve the following specification issue:
Issue #26: virtio: support passing extra data in kick
--------------------------------------
Some devices benefit from ability to find out the number of available
descriptors in the ring: for efficiency or as a debugging aid.

To help with these optimizations, add a new feature:
VIRTIO_F_NOTIFICATION_DATA. When negotiated, driver notifications to the
device will include this extra information.

--------------------------------------

The TC accepts the following proposed changes to the specification:
--------------------------------------
https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/virtio/201811/msg00012.html
--------------------------------------

The TC agrees to include the above change(s) in specification version(s) "virtio-v1.1-cs01", and future versions of the
specification.

--------------------------------------

Reminder: A Voting Member must be active in a TC to maintain voting rights. As
the Virtio TC has adopted a standing rule to conduct business only by
electronic ballot, without Meetings, a Voting Member who fails to cast a ballot
in two consecutive Work Product Ballots loses his or her voting rights at the
close of the second ballot missed.
