Subject: [PATCH v3 4/4] Add CCW configuration field "indirect_num"


This new CCW configuration field allows to negotiate a more fine
graded maximum lenght of indirect descriptor chains.

Bump CCW virtio revision to 3 and make the existence of this new
field "indirect_num" dependant on revision 3.

Fixes: https://github.com/oasis-tcs/virtio-spec/issues/122
