It reports the shadow virtqueue address from qemu virtual address space.
Since this will be different from the guest's vaddr, but the device can
access it, SVQ takes special care about its alignment & lack of garbage
data. It assumes that IOMMU will work in host_page_size ranges for that.

This allows SVQ to negotiate features with the guest and the device. For
the device, SVQ is a driver. While this function bypasses all
non-transport features, it needs to disable the features that SVQ does
not support when forwarding buffers. This includes packed vq layout,
indirect descriptors or event idx.
Future changes can add support to offer more features to the guest,
since the use of VirtQueue gives this for free. This is left out at the
moment for simplicity.

This will make qemu aware of the device used buffers, allowing it to
write the guest memory with its contents if needed.

At this mode no buffer forwarding will be performed in SVQ mode: Qemu
will just forward the guest's kicks to the device.
Host memory notifiers regions are left out for simplicity, and they will
not be addressed in this series.

Vhost shadow virtqueue (SVQ) is an intermediate jump for virtqueue
notifications and buffers, allowing qemu to track them. While qemu is
forwarding the buffers and virtqueue changes, it is able to commit the
memory it's being dirtied, the same way regular qemu's VirtIO devices
do.
This commit only exposes basic SVQ allocation and free. Next patches of
the series add functionality like notifications and buffers forwarding.
