This patch is independent of VIRTIO 1.0 and can be merged separately
(faster).

I like your vring-accessors.h approach better than the inline
virtio_ld/st_p() in my patch.  Nice.

Since we copy in struct vring_desc anyway, it's cleaner to byteswap the
fields once instead of remembering to do it each time we need to access
a field.  The copy_in_vring_desc() function is one thing I prefer I
about my patch.
