Previously we used a type/len pair within the config space, but this
seems overkill. We now simply define a structure which represents the
layout in the config space: the config space can now only be extended
at the end.
The main driver-visible changes:
1) We indicate what fields are present with an explicit feature bit.
2) Virtqueues are explicitly numbered, and not in the config space.

Went through the documentation doing typo and content fixes. This
patch contains only comment and whitespace changes.

This makes lguest able to use the virtio devices.
We change the device descriptor page from a simple array to a variable
length "type, config_len, status, config data..." format, and
implement virtio_config_ops to read from that config data.
We use the virtio ring implementation for an efficient Guest <-> Host
virtqueue mechanism, and the new LHCALL_NOTIFY hypercall to kick the
host when it changes.
We also use LHCALL_NOTIFY on kernel addresses for very very early
console output. We could have another hypercall, but this hack works
quite well.

This patch gets rid of the old lguest host I/O infrastructure and
replaces it with a single hypercall "LHCALL_NOTIFY" which takes an
address.
The main change is the removal of io.c: that mainly did inter-guest
I/O, which virtio doesn't yet support.

This gets rid of the lguest bus, drivers and DMA mechanism, to make
way for a generic virtio mechanism.

lguest_launcher.h uses "u32" not "__u32", which sets a bad example. Fix that,
and include <linux/types.h>.
This means we need to use -I on the Launcher build line so types.h is found.

This is the code for the "lg.ko" module, which allows lguest guests to
