Virtio interface
This attempts to implement a "virtual I/O" layer which should allow
common drivers to be efficiently used across most virtual I/O
mechanisms. It will no-doubt need further enhancement.
The virtio drivers add buffers to virtio queues; as the buffers are consumed
the driver "interrupt" callbacks are invoked.
There is also a generic implementation of config space which drivers can query
to get setup information from the host.
