The vring.c code currently assumes that guest and host endianness match,
which is not true for a number of cases:
- emulating targets with a different endianness than the host
- bi-endian targets, where the correct endianness depends on the virtio
device
- upcoming support for the virtio-1 standard mandates little-endian
accesses even for big-endian targets and hosts
Make sure to use accessors that depend on the virtio device.
Note that dataplane now needs to be built per-target.

This header has no further dependencies. It only has some stable data
types and primitive functions, so we can copy it to include/hw/virtio in
order to allow vring code (and its user virtio-blk dataplane) to be
built unconditionally, even for cross compiling.

The memory allocation between hw/block/virtio-blk.c,
hw/block/dataplane/virtio-blk.c, and hw/virtio/dataplane/vring.c is
messy. Structs are allocated in different files than they are freed in.
This is risky and makes memory leaks easier.
Embed VirtQueueElement in VirtIOBlockReq to reduce the amount of memory
allocation we need to juggle. This also makes vring.c and virtio.c
slightly more similar.

VirtQueueElement is allocated in vring_pop() so it seems to make sense
that vring_push() should free it. Alas, virtio-blk frees
VirtQueueElement itself in virtio_blk_free_request().
This patch solves a double-free assertion in glib's g_slice_free().
Rename vring_free_element() to vring_unmap_element() since it no longer
frees the VirtQueueElement.

Load the virtio.c state into vring.c when we start dataplane mode and
vice versa when stopping dataplane mode. This patch makes it possible
to start and stop dataplane any time while the guest is running.
This will eventually allow us to go back to QEMU main loop for
bdrv_drain_all() and live migration. In the meantime, this patch makes
the dataplane lifecycle more robust but should make no visible
difference. It may be useful in the virtio-net dataplane effort.

Add ref/unref calls at the following places:
- places where memory regions are stashed by a listener and
used outside the BQL (including in Xen or KVM).
- memory_region_find callsites
- creation of aliases and containers (only the aliased/contained
region gets a reference to avoid loops)
- around calls to del_subregion/add_subregion, where the region
could disappear after the first call

Many of these should be cleaned up with proper qdev-/QOM-ification.
Right now there are many catch-all headers in include/hw/ARCH depending
on cpu.h, and this makes it necessary to compile these files per-target.
However, fixing this does not belong in these patches.
