Are we sure all vhost devices can support in-order (especially the SCSI)?
It looks better to start from a device specific one.

This is the caller / user of __vhost_add_used_n's duty to make sure all buffer is fully used.
The device will only batch if all heads are fully used.

It would be simpler to use vhost_add_used in vsock/vhost_test to add a
batch of used descriptors, and leave vhost_add_used_n untouched.
Since it's the upper layer the one that manages the in_order in this
version, we could:
* Always call vhost_add_used(vq, last_head_of_batch, ...) for the tx
queue, that does not need used length info.
* Call vhost_add_used_n for the rx queue, since the driver needs the
used length info.

Very insightful view!
At first, vhost_add_used will write used ring for skipped buffer in a batch,
so we can't let vhost unmodified to enable in order feature.
Secondly, Current changes to vhost_add_used_n will affect the rx queue,
as driver have to get each buffer's length from used ring.
So I would propose a flag parameter in vhost_add_used_n to decide
whether the batch for in order buffer is done or nor.
