Updating the event index has a memory barrier and causes more work
on the other side to actually signal the event. It is unnecessary
if a new buffer has already appeared on the ring, so poll once before
doing the update.
The effect of this on the 0.9 ring implementation is pretty much
invisible, but on the new-style ring it provides a consistent 3%
performance improvement.

virtio_ring currently sends the device (usually a hypervisor)
physical addresses of its I/O buffers. This is okay when DMA
addresses and physical addresses are the same thing, but this isn't
always the case. For example, this never works on Xen guests, and
it is likely to fail if a physical "virtio" device ever ends up
behind an IOMMU or swiotlb.
The immediate use case for me is to enable virtio on Xen guests.
For that to work, we need vring to support DMA address translation
as well as a corresponding change to virtio_pci or to another
driver.

This adds micro-benchmarks useful for tuning virtio ring layouts.
Three layouts are currently implemented:
- virtio 0.9 compatible one
- an experimental extension bypassing the ring index, polling ring
itself instead
- an experimental extension bypassing avail and used ring completely
Typical use:
sh run-on-all.sh perf stat -r 10 --log-fd 1 -- ./ring
It doesn't depend on the kernel directly, but it's handy
to have as much virtio stuff as possible in one tree.

Currently a host kick error is silently ignored and not reflected in
the virtqueue of a particular virtio device.
Changing the notify API for guest->host notification seems to be one
prerequisite in order to be able to handle such errors in the context
where the kick is triggered.
This patch changes the notify API. The notify function must return a
bool return value. It returns false if the host notification failed.

virtio_scsi can really use this, to avoid the current hack of copying

This causes a slowdown in virtqueue_add_buf(), which is implemented as

This is mainly to test the drivers/vhost/vringh.c code, but it also
uses the drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.c code for the guest side.
Usage for testing the basic implementation:
./vringh_test
# Test with indirect descriptors
./vringh_test --indirect
# Test with indirect descriptors and event indexex
./vringh_test --indirect --eventidx
You can run a parallel stress test by adding --parallel to any of the
above options.
