Subject: [PATCH 1/5] virtio: put last_used and last_avail index into ring itself.

Generally, the other end of the virtio ring doesn't need to see where
you're up to in consuming the ring.  However, in order for an external
entity to understand it, it must be exposed.  For example, if you want
to save and restore a virtio_ring, but you're not the consumer because
the kernel is using it directly.

Fortunately, we have room to expand: the ring is always a whole number
of pages and there's hundreds of bytes of padding after the avail ring
and the used ring, whatever the number of descriptors (which must be a
power of 2).

We add a feature bit so the guest can tell the host that it's writing
out the current value there, if it wants to use that.
