The virtio_ring.h header is used in userspace programs (ie. QEMU),
too. Here we can not assume that sizeof(pointer) is the same as
sizeof(long), e.g. when compiling for Windows, so the typecast in
vring_init() should be done with (uintptr_t) instead of (unsigned long).

Host needs to know vring element alignment requirements:
simply doing alignof on structures doesn't work reliably: on some
platforms gcc has alignof(uint32_t) == 2.
Add macros for alignment as specified in virtio 1.0 cs01,
export them to userspace as well.

virtio 1.0 makes all memory structures LE, so
we need APIs to conditionally do a byteswap on BE
architectures.
To make it easier to check code statically,
add virtio specific types for multi-byte integers
in memory.
Add low level wrappers that do a byteswap conditionally, these will be
useful e.g. for vhost. Add high level wrappers that
query device endian-ness and act accordingly.
