[PATCH 3/6] ccw: map common notifications terminology to ccw

[Halil Pasic <pasic@linux.ibm.com>]

The various notifications are introduced and specified in the common
(i.e. transport agnostic) portion of this specification. How
notifications are realised for a given transport is something each
transport has to specify.

Let's make the relationship between the virtio-ccw terms and the common
terms more obvious.

Changelog:
* implemented Connie's suggestions (typos, grammar)
* avoided 'realized using virtual interrupts'

+Available buffer notifications are realized as a hypercall. No additional
