Do we want to put wrap_counter at bit 15?

If put wrap_counter at bit 31, the check (s.num > 0xffff)
won't be able to catch the illegal index 0x8000~0xffff for
packed ring.

Do we need the new VHOST_GET_VRING_USED_BASE and
VHOST_SET_VRING_USED_BASE ops?

We are going to merge below series in DPDK:

We may need to reach an agreement first.
