qdio.ko offers a small number of high-level functions to drive the scanning of a QDIO queue for ready-to-process SBALs: qdio_get_next_buffers(), __[ti]qdio_inbound_processing() and __qdio_outbound_processing(). Let each of those functions maintain the 'start' index for their current scan, and pass it to lower-level helpers as needed. This improves the code's overall layering, and allows us to eliminate the additional first_to_kick cursor with a follow-on patch.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
