Description
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.
