Subject: [PATCH 1/2] admin: Refer to processing order as "limited" rather than none


The non-normative section says that administration virtqueue commands
"will be consumed with no order constraints". But actually, the
requirements stipulate a total order for all commands in the same
virtqueue:

	The device MUST process commands on a given administration virtqueue
	in the order in which they are queued.

	If multiple administration virtqueues have been configured,
	device MAY process commands on distinct virtqueues with
	no order constraints.

Rather than "no order constraints", refer to "limited order constraints"
to not mislead the reader.

Fixes: bf1d6b0d24ae8 ("admin: conformance clauses")

 strict request ordering for commands, because they will be

 is required then the driver can wait for the processing of a
 first command by the device to be completed before submitting
 another command depending on the first one.
