Ok, I wonder in that case if I could just remove the simple Tx path in
my series as it is not compliant with IN_ORDER.
Tiwei, what's your take on this?

Also, I wonder if it would make sense to backport the vhost patch that 
advertize IN_ORDER features to the LTS, as no functional changes, except
that it prevents using "simple/inorder" path with dequeue zero copy,
which is a good thing.

Any thoughts?

I can change when applying.
