vdev_ctrl_assign_flags

Flags for the VDEV_CTRL_ASSIGN operation

Synopsis:

#include <qvm/vdev-core.h>

enum vdev_ctrl_assign_flags {
    VCAF_INTR = 0x01,
    VCAF_LOCATION = 0x02
};

Data:

VCAF_INTR: The current vdev doesn't have an interrupt assigned.
VCAF_LOCATION: The current vdev doesn't have a location assigned.
