Allow extra context per descriptor. To avoid slow down for data path,
this disables use of indirect descriptors for this vq.

Allows maintaining extra context per vq.  For ease of use, passing in
NULL is legal and disables the feature for all vqs.

Includes fixes by Christian for s390, acked by Cornelia.

<title>Revert "vring: Force use of DMA API for ARM-based systems with legacy devices"</title>

This reverts commit c7070619f3408d9a0dffbed9149e6f00479cf43b.

This has been shown to regress on some ARM systems:

by forcing on DMA API usage for ARM systems, we have inadvertently
kicked open a hornets' nest in terms of cache-coherency. Namely that
unless the virtio device is explicitly described as capable of coherent
DMA by firmware, the DMA APIs on ARM and other DT-based platforms will
assume it is non-coherent. This turns out to cause a big problem for the
likes of QEMU and kvmtool, which generate virtio-mmio devices in their
guest DTs but neglect to add the often-overlooked "dma-coherent"
property; as a result, we end up with the guest making non-cacheable
accesses to the vring, the host doing so cacheably, both talking past
each other and things going horribly wrong.

We are working on a safer work-around.

Booting Linux on an ARM fastmodel containing an SMMU emulation results
in an unexpected I/O page fault from the legacy virtio-blk PCI device:

[    1.211721] arm-smmu-v3 2b400000.smmu: event 0x10 received:
[    1.211800] arm-smmu-v3 2b400000.smmu:	0x00000000fffff010

&lt;system hangs failing to read partition table&gt;

This is because the legacy virtio-blk device is behind an SMMU, so we
have consequently swizzled its DMA ops and configured the SMMU to
translate accesses. This then requires the vring code to use the DMA API
to establish translations, otherwise all transactions will result in
fatal faults and termination.

Given that ARM-based systems only see an SMMU if one is really present
(the topology is all described by firmware tables such as device-tree or
IORT), then we can safely use the DMA API for all legacy virtio devices.
Modern devices can advertise the prescense of an IOMMU using the
VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM feature flag.

According to the spec, if the VIRTIO_RING_F_EVENT_IDX feature bit is
negotiated the driver MUST set flags to 0. Not dirtying the available
ring in virtqueue_disable_cb also has a minor positive performance
impact, improving L1 dcache load missed by ~0.5% in vring_bench.

Writes to the used event field (vring_used_event) are still unconditional.

On error, virtqueue_add calls START_USE but not
END_USE. Thankfully that's normally empty anyway,
but might not be when debugging. Fix it up.
