Support a new feature flag for indirect ring entries. These are ring
entries which point to a table of buffer descriptors.
The idea here is to increase the ring capacity by allowing a larger
effective ring size whereby the ring size dictates the number of
requests that may be outstanding, rather than the size of those
requests.
This should be most effective in the case of block I/O where we can
potentially benefit by concurrently dispatching a large number of
large requests. Even in the simple case of single segment block
requests, this results in a threefold increase in ring capacity.

This function is used to manage a PCI BAR, so make the more generic
pci_register_io_region() available to other uses.

The only target dependency for most hardware is sizeof(target_phys_addr_t).
Build these files into a convenience library, and use that instead of
building for every target.
Remove and poison various target specific macros to avoid bogus target
dependencies creeping back in.
Big/Little endian is not handled because devices should not know or care
about this to start with.
