 Support for virtio-like communication between host (H) and guest (G) NICs.

 THIS IS EXPERIMENTAL CODE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE.

 The guest allocates the shared Communication Status Block (csb) and
 write its physical address at CSBAL and CSBAH (data is little endian).
 csb->csb_on enables the mode. If disabled, the device acts a regular one.

 Notifications for tx and rx are exchanged without vm exits
 if possible. In particular (only mentioning csb mode below),
 the following actions are performed. In the description below,
 "double check" means verifying again the condition that caused
 the previous action, and reverting the action if the condition has
 changed. The condition typically depends on a variable set by the
 other party, and the double check is done to avoid races. E.g.

	// start with A=0
    again:
	// do something
	if ( cond(C) ) { // C is written by the other side
	    A = 1;
	    // barrier
	    if ( !cond(C) ) {
		A = 0;
		goto again;
	    }
	}

 TX: start from idle:
    H starts with host_need_txkick=1 when the I/O thread bh is idle. Upon new
    transmissions, G always updates guest_tdt.  If host_need_txkick == 1,
    G also writes to the TDT, which acts as a kick to H (so pending
    writes are always dispatched to H as soon as possible.)

 TX: active state:
    On the kick (TDT write) H sets host_need_txkick == 0 (if not
    done already by G), and starts an I/O thread trying to consume
    packets from TDH to guest_tdt, periodically refreshing host_tdh
    and TDH.  When host_tdh == guest_tdt, H sets host_need_txkick=1,
    and then does the "double check" for race avoidance.

 TX: G runs out of buffers
    XXX there are two mechanisms, one boolean (using guest_need_txkick)
    and one with a threshold (using guest_txkick_at). They are mutually
    exclusive.
    BOOLEAN: when G has no space, it sets guest_need_txkick=1 and does
        the double check. If H finds guest_need_txkick== 1 on a write
        to TDH, it also generates an interrupt.
    THRESHOLD: G sets guest_txkick_at to the TDH value for which it
	wants to receive an interrupt. When H detects that TDH moves
	across guest_txkick_at, it generates an interrupt.
	This second mechanism reduces the number of interrupts and
	TDT writes on the transmit side when the host is too slow.

 RX: start from idle
    G starts with guest_need_rxkick = 1 when the receive ring is empty.
    As packets arrive, H updates host_rdh (and RDH) and also generates an
    interrupt when guest_need_rxkick == 1 (so incoming packets are
    always reported to G as soon as possible, apart from interrupt
    moderation delays). It also tracks guest_rdt for new buffers.

 RX: active state
    As the interrupt arrives, G sets guest_need_rxkick = 0 and starts
    draining packets from the receive ring, while updating guest_rdt
    When G runs out of packets it sets guest_need_rxkick=1 and does the
    double check.

 RX: H runs out of buffers
    XXX there are two mechanisms, one boolean (using host_need_rxkick)
    and one with a threshold (using host_xxkick_at). They are mutually
    exclusive.
    BOOLEAN: when H has no space, it sets host_need_rxkick=1 and does the
	double check. If G finds host_need_rxkick==1 on updating guest_rdt,
        it also writes to RDT causing a kick to H.
    THRESHOLD: H sets host_rxkick_at to the RDT value for which it wants
	to receive a kick. When G detects that guest_rdt moves across
	host_rxkick_at, it writes to RDT thus generates a kick.
	This second mechanism reduces the number of kicks and
        RDT writes on the receive side when the guest is too slow and
	would free only a few buffers at a time.
