Subject: [PATCH v6 4/5] Add admin_queue_index register to PCI common configuration structure


This new register will be used for querying the index of the admin
virtqueue of a virtio device. To configure, reset or enable the admin
virtqueue, the driver should follow existing queue configuration/setup
sequence.
