<title>virtio_ring: Support DMA APIs</title>

virtio_ring currently sends the device (usually a hypervisor)
physical addresses of its I/O buffers.  This is okay when DMA
addresses and physical addresses are the same thing, but this isn't
always the case.  For example, this never works on Xen guests, and
it is likely to fail if a physical "virtio" device ever ends up
behind an IOMMU or swiotlb.

The immediate use case for me is to enable virtio on Xen guests.
For that to work, we need vring to support DMA address translation
as well as a corresponding change to virtio_pci or to another
driver.

commit cf561f0d2eb74574ad9985a2feab134267a9d298 ("virtio: introduce
virtio_is_little_endian() helper") changed byteswap logic to
skip feature bit checks for LE platforms, but didn't
update tools/virtio, so vring_bench started failing.

Update the copy under tools/virtio/ (TODO: find a way to avoid this code
duplication).

Change u32 to u64, and use BIT_ULL and 1ULL everywhere.

Note: transports are unchanged, and only set low 32 bit.
This guarantees that no transport sets e.g. VERSION_1
by mistake without proper support.

<title>virtio: use u32, not bitmap for features</title>

It seemed like a good idea to use bitmap for features
in struct virtio_device, but it's actually a pain,
and seems to become even more painful when we get more
than 32 feature bits.  Just change it to a u32 for now.

Based on patch by Rusty.

So tools/ has been growing three, at a different stage of their
development export.h headers and so we should unite into one. Add
tools/include/ to the include path of virtio and liblockdep to pick the
shared header now.
