Hmm, I have those here too (in the header):

+static inline void vringh_kiov_reset(struct vringh_kiov *kiov)
+{
+	kiov->off = 0;
+	kiov->i = 0;
+}
+
+static inline void vringh_kiov_cleanup(struct vringh_kiov *kiov)
+{
+	if (kiov->max_num & VRINGH_IOV_ALLOCATED)
+		kfree(kiov->iov);
+	kiov->max_num = kiov->used = kiov->i = kiov->off = 0;
+	kiov->iov = NULL;
+}

I've folded the patches and put them into my pending-rebases branch,
ready for virtio-next.

I'd really like MST's ack on this, too, so I'll repost the series.

Cheers,
Rusty.
