[RFC PATCH 0/5] virtio: introduce SUSPEND bit and vq state

[Zhu Lingshan <lingshan.zhu@intel.com>]

This seires introduces
1)a new SUSPEND bit in the device status
Which is used to suspend the device, so that the device states
and virtqueue states are stablized.

2)virtqueue state and accessors, to get and set last_avail_idx
and last_used_idx of virtqueues.

The main usecase of these new facilities is Live Migration.

Furture work: dirty page tracking and in-flight descriptors.

This is RFC, this series carries on Jason and Eugenio's pervious work.

Any comments are welcome.
