3beee86a4b virtio: Introduce vringh wrappers in virtio_config
Add wrappers for the host vrings to support loose
coupling between the virtio device and driver.

A new struct vringh_config_ops with the functions
find_vrhs() and del_vrhs() is added to the virtio_device
struct. This enables virtio drivers to manage virtio
host rings without detailed knowledge of how the
vrings are created and deleted.

The function vringh_notify() is added so vringh clients
can notify the other side that buffers are added to the
used-ring.

f87d0fbb57 vringh: host-side implementation of virtio rings.
Getting use of virtio rings correct is tricky, and a recent patch saw
an implementation of in-kernel rings (as separate from userspace).

This abstracts the business of dealing with the virtio ring layout
from the access (userspace or direct); to do this, we use function
pointers, which gcc inlines correctly.
