4f6d9bfc88 ringtest: fix an assert statement
There is an || vs && typo so the assert can never be triggered.

948a8ac296 ringtest: poll for new buffers once before updating event index
Updating the event index has a memory barrier and causes more work
on the other side to actually signal the event.  It is unnecessary
if a new buffer has already appeared on the ring, so poll once before
doing the update.

The effect of this on the 0.9 ring implementation is pretty much
invisible, but on the new-style ring it provides a consistent 3%
performance improvement.

44d65ea161 ringtest: use link-time optimization
By using -flto and -fwhole-program, all functions from the ring implementation
can be treated as static and possibly inlined.  Force this to happen through
the GCC flatten attribute.

481eaec37e tools/virtio: add ringtest utilities
This adds micro-benchmarks useful for tuning virtio ring layouts.
Three layouts are currently implemented:

- virtio 0.9 compatible one
- an experimental extension bypassing the ring index, polling ring
  itself instead
- an experimental extension bypassing avail and used ring completely

Typical use:

sh run-on-all.sh perf stat -r 10 --log-fd 1 -- ./ring

It doesn't depend on the kernel directly, but it's handy
to have as much virtio stuff as possible in one tree.
