b01d9f2863 Module autoprobing support for virtio drivers.
This adds the logic to convert the virtio ids into module aliases, and
includes a modalias entry in sysfs and the env var to make probing work.

ec3d41c4db Virtio interface
This attempts to implement a "virtual I/O" layer which should allow
common drivers to be efficiently used across most virtual I/O
mechanisms.  It will no-doubt need further enhancement.

The virtio drivers add buffers to virtio queues; as the buffers are consumed
the driver "interrupt" callbacks are invoked.

There is also a generic implementation of config space which drivers can query
to get setup information from the host.
