[Lguest] [PATCH 2/6] virtio_config

Previous versions of virtio didn't commonalize probing. For every
driver, every virtio implementation (KVM, lguest, etc) needed an
in-kernel stub to join their bus to the probe code.
To solve this, we introduce a "virtio_config" mechanism, which is
simply a set of [u8 type][u8 len][...data...] fields for each device.
Some convenient wrapper functions make this fairly easy for drivers to
unpack their configuration data themselves.
This configuration data could be PCI config space, or an unrelated bus
(eg. lguest) or manufactured by the kernel itself. It's designed to
be extensible: fields get marked as the device reads them so a host
supporting some future extension can tell if the guest driver
understood it. This also applies to bitfields: the guest explicitly
acks the bits it understands.
There's also a simple status bitmask useful for low-level host
analysis of what the guest is doing with the device.
