Subject: [PATCH v8 0/8] Rename queue index to queue number


1. Currently, virtqueue is identified between driver and device
interchangeably using either number of index terminology.

2. Between PCI and MMIO transport the queue size (depth) is
defined as queue_size and QueueNum respectively.

To avoid confusion and to have consistency, unify them to use as Number.

Solution:
a. Use virtqueue number description, and rename MMIO register as QueueSize.
b. Replace virtqueue index to virtqueue number
c. RSS area of virtio net has inherited some logic, describe it
using abstract rq_handle.

Patch summary:
patch-1 introduce vq number as generic term
patch-2 renames index to number for pci transport
patch-3 renames mmio register from Num to Size
patch-4 renames index to number for mmio transport
patch-5 renames num field to size for ccw transport
patch-6 renames index field to queue_select for ccw transport
patch-7 for virtio-net removes duplicate example from requirements
patch-8 for virtio-net updates rss description to use vq number

This series only improves the documentation, it does not change any
transport or device functionality.

Please review.
This series fixes the issue [1].

changelog:
v7->v8:
- remove note about first virtqueue number
- skipped Max's comment to put word 'structure' in same line as its
  crosses 65 chars limit per line

- renamed rq_handle to rss_rq_id
- moved rss_rq_id next to rss_config structure
- define rss_config structure using rss_rq_id
v2->v3:
