Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/8] virtio: add functions for piecewise addition of buffers

The virtqueue_add_buf function has two limitations:

1) it requires the caller to provide all the buffers in a single call;

2) it does not support chained scatterlists: the buffers must be
provided as an array of struct scatterlist.

Because of these limitations, virtio-scsi has to copy each request into
a scatterlist internal to the driver.  It cannot just use the one that
was prepared by the upper SCSI layers.

This patch adds a different set of APIs for adding a buffer to a virtqueue.
The new API lets you pass the buffers piecewise, wrapping multiple calls
to virtqueue_add_sg between virtqueue_start_buf and virtqueue_end_buf.
virtio-scsi can then call virtqueue_add_sg 3/4 times: for the request
header, for the write buffer (if present), for the response header, and
finally for the read buffer (again if present).  It saves the copying
and the related locking.

Another function, virtqueue_add_sg_single unrolls virtqueue_add_sg for
a one-element scatterlist.  These are common because they are used
for request and response headers.

This API can also be used in virtio-blk, where it enables conversion of
virtqueue_add_buf itself to use the new API.  virtio-blk receives
a scatterlist from the blk_map_rq_sg call and it has an ending
marker set.  When virtqueue_add_buf starts using sg_next, virtio-blk
cannot simply hand the resulting scatterlist to virtqueue_add_buf;
however it can use the piecewise API to pass the request and
response headers separately.
