<title>virtio_ring: change host notification API</title>

Currently a host kick error is silently ignored and not reflected in
the virtqueue of a particular virtio device.

Changing the notify API for guest-&gt;host notification seems to be one
prerequisite in order to be able to handle such errors in the context
where the kick is triggered.

This patch changes the notify API. The notify function must return a
bool return value. It returns false if the host notification failed.

Let's not add a function for every external interrupt subclass for
which we need reference counting. Just have two register/unregister
functions which have a subclass parameter:

void irq_subclass_register(enum irq_subclass subclass);
void irq_subclass_unregister(enum irq_subclass subclass);

The current location for mapping virtio devices does not take
into consideration the standby memory. This causes the failure
of mapping standby memory since the location for the mapping is
already taken by the virtio devices. To fix the problem, we move
the location to beyond the end of standby memory.
