Add an extra parameter to the ring enqueue burst/bulk functions so that
those functions can optionally return the amount of free space in the
ring. This information can be used by applications in a number of ways,
for instance, with single-producer queues, it provides a max
enqueue size which is guaranteed to work. It can also be used to
implement watermark functionality in apps, replacing the older
functionality with a more flexible version, which enables apps to
implement multiple watermark thresholds, rather than just one.
