Description

If you don't have an opinion, please vote Abstain.

I move that:
The TC agrees to resolve the following specification issue:
Issue #36: virtio ring features: inconsistent naming
--------------------------------------
Reported-by: Don Wallwork <don.wallwork@broadcom.com>

features like VIRTIO_F_EVENT_IDX and
VIRTIO_F_INDIRECT_DESC do not
appear in Linux kernel or QEMU code; VIRTIO_RING_F_EVENT_IDX and
VIRTIO_RING_F_INDIRECT_DESC
are used instead.

Also noticed that there seems to be an inconsistency in the spec in that
VIRTIO_F_EVENT_IDX is
used in some places and VIRTIO_F_RING_EVENT_IDX is used in others

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.
