With the new used_event and avail_event and features, both
host and guest need similar logic to check whether events are
enabled, so it helps to put the common code in the header.

Note that Xen has similar logic for notification hold-off
in include/xen/interface/io/ring.h with req_event and req_prod
corresponding to event_idx + 1 and new_idx respectively.
+1 comes from the fact that req_event and req_prod in Xen start at 1,
while event index in virtio starts at 0.

Exactly. Good catch, thanks.
