Vringh is a host-side implementation of virtio rings, and supports the vring
located on three kinds of memories, userspace, kernel space and a space
translated iotlb.
This patch introduces a new accessor for the vring on IO memory regions. The
accessor is used by the proposed PCIe endpoint virtio-{net[1], console[2]}
function drivers, which emulate a virtio device and access the virtio ring on
PCIe host memory mapped to the local IO memory region.
