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.

The event idx in virtio is an effective way to reduce the number of
interrupts and exits of the guest. When the guest puts an request
into the virtio ring, it doesn't exit immediately to inform the
backend. Instead, the guest checks the "avail" event idx to determine
the notification.
In virtqueue_pop, when a request is poped, the current avail event
idx should be set to the number of vq->last_avail_idx.

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.

When the dataplane thread stops, its vring.c implementation synchronizes
vring state back to virtio.c so we can continue emulating the virtio
device.
This patch ensures that virtio.c's signalled_used_valid flag is reset so
that we do not suppress guest notifications due to stale signalled_used
values.

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.
