The MIC VOP driver does two successive reads from user space to read a
variable length data structure. Kernel memory corruption can result if
the data structure changes between the two reads. This patch disallows
the chance of this happening.

Static checkers complain that the this is a potential array overflow.
We verify that it's not on the next line so this code is OK, but
static checker warnings are annoying.

This patch moves virtio functionality from the MIC host driver into a
separate hardware independent Virtio Over PCIe (VOP) driver. This
functionality was introduced in commit f69bcbf3b4 ("Intel MIC Host
Driver Changes for Virtio Devices.") in
drivers/misc/mic/host/mic_virtio.c. Apart from being moved into a
separate driver the functionality is essentially unchanged. See the
above mentioned commit for a description of this functionality.
