Subject: [RFC PATCH 00/17] Add validation for used length

Current virtio device drivers may trust the used length returned
in virtqueue_get_buf()/virtqueue_get_buf_ctx(). But the used length
might come from an untrusted device when VDUSE[1] is enabled. To
protect this case, this series tries to add validation for the
used length.

Since many legacy devices will also set the used length incorrectly,
we did not add the validation unconditionally. Instead, we will do
the validation only when the device driver needs the used length.
A NULL len passed to virtqueue_get_buf()/virtqueue_get_buf_ctx()
will mean the used length is not needed by the device driver.
