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.

virtio_pci in 2.6.25 didn't do feature negotiation correctly: it acked every
bit. Fortunately, we can detect this.

This patch adds and uses #defines for PCI device classes and subclases,
using a new pci_config_set_class() function, similar to the recently
added pci_config_set_vendor_id() and pci_config_set_device_id().

Vectored IO APIs will require some sort of vector argument. It makes sense to
use struct iovec and just define it globally for Windows.

TARGET_PAGE_SIZE should only be used internal to qemu, not in guest/host
interfaces. The virtio frontend code in Linux uses two constants (PFN shift
and vring alignment) for the interface, so update qemu to match.
I've tested this with PowerPC KVM and confirmed that it fixes virtio problems
when using non-TARGET_PAGE_SIZE pages in the guest.

This patch adds core support for VirtIO. VirtIO is a paravirtualization
framework that has been in Linux since 2.6.21. A PCI transport has been
available since 2.6.25. Network drivers are also available for Windows.
