So the urgent descriptor only work when event index was not enabled?
This seems suboptimal, we may still want to benefit from event index
even if urgent descriptor is used. Looks like we need return true here
when vq->urgent is true?

Another question is whether or not we need to do this a new flag.
Technically we can do it purely in guest side through event index, this
can help to eliminate both the changes in host and a new feature bit.
