In some cases, it may be useful to provide a way to skip a number
of bytes in a vringh_kiov.

Let's implement vringh_kiov_advance() for this purpose, reusing the
code from vringh_iov_xfer().
We replace that code calling the new vringh_kiov_advance().

<title>vringh: add 'iotlb_lock' to synchronize iotlb accesses</title>

Usually iotlb accesses are synchronized with a spinlock.
Let's request it as a new parameter in vringh_set_iotlb() and
hold it when we navigate the iotlb in iotlb_translate() to avoid
race conditions with any new additions/deletions of ranges from
the ioltb.

<title>virtio: force spec specified alignment on types</title>

<id>a865e420b9561235851c3f5d483c82ef389d29bd</id>
<content type='text'>
The ring element addresses are passed between components with different
alignments assumptions. Thus, if guest/userspace selects a pointer and
host then gets and dereferences it, we might need to decrease the
compiler-selected alignment to prevent compiler on the host from
assuming pointer is aligned.

This actually triggers on ARM with -mabi=apcs-gnu - which is a
deprecated configuration, but it seems safer to handle this
generally.

Note that userspace that allocates the memory is actually OK and does
not need to be fixed, but userspace that gets it from guest or another
process does need to be fixed. The later doesn't generally talk to the
kernel so while it might be buggy it's not talking to the kernel in the
buggy way - it's just using the header in the buggy way - so fixing
header and asking userspace to recompile is the best we can do.

I verified that the produced kernel binary on x86 is exactly identical
before and after the change.

Allow building vringh without IOTLB (that's the case for userspace
builds, will be useful for CAIF/VOD down the road too).
Update for API tweaks.
Don't include vringh with userspace builds.

<content type='text'>
This patch implements the third memory accessor for vringh besides
current kernel and userspace accessors. This idea is to allow vringh
to do the address translation through an IOTLB which is implemented
via vhost_map interval tree. Users should setup and IOVA to PA mapping
in this IOTLB.

This allows us to:

- Use vringh to access virtqueues with vIOMMU
- Use vringh to implement software virtqueues for vDPA devices

<title>virtio: add explicit big-endian support to memory accessors</title>

<id>7d82410950aa74adccf035c332e409af2bb93e92</id>
<content type='text'>
The current memory accessors logic is:
- little endian if little_endian
- native endian (i.e. no byteswap) if !little_endian

If we want to fully support cross-endian vhost, we also need to be
able to convert to big endian.

Instead of changing the little_endian argument to some 3-value enum, this
patch changes the logic to:
- little endian if little_endian
- big endian if !little_endian

The native endian case is handled by all users with a trivial helper. This
patch doesn't change any functionality, nor it does add overhead.
