Subject: [PATCH RFC v7 4/8] Add admin_queue_index register to PCI common configuration structure


From: Max Gurtovoy <mgurtovoy@nvidia.com>

This new register will be used for querying the index of the admin
virtqueue of a virtio device. To configure, reset or enable the admin
virtqueue, the driver should follow existing queue configuration/setup
sequence.
