Rusty Russell 74b2553f1d virtio: fix module/device unloading 
The virtio code never hooked through the ->remove callback.  Although
noone supports device removal at the moment, this code is already
needed for module unloading.

This of course also revealed bugs in virtio_blk, virtio_net and lguest
unloading paths.

Rusty Russell b01d9f2863 Module autoprobing support for virtio drivers. 
This adds the logic to convert the virtio ids into module aliases, and
includes a modalias entry in sysfs and the env var to make probing work.

Rusty Russell ec3d41c4db Virtio interface 
This attempts to implement a "virtual I/O" layer which should allow
common drivers to be efficiently used across most virtual I/O
mechanisms.  It will no-doubt need further enhancement.

The virtio drivers add buffers to virtio queues; as the buffers are consumed
the driver "interrupt" callbacks are invoked.

There is also a generic implementation of config space which drivers can query
to get setup information from the host.
