Subject: [RFC kvmtool 08/10] riscv: virtio: Enforce VIRTIO_F_ACCESS_PLATFORM feature flag.

From: Rajnesh Kanwal <rkanwal@...osinc.com>

VIRTIO_F_ACCESS_PLATFORM feature tells the guest that device will
be using DMA for transfers. This forces the guest to use DMA API
to allow the host to successfully access guest memory as needed.

This is needed for CoVE VMs.
