[PATCH v1 2/8] virtio: Add boundary checks to virtio ring

In protected guest mode we don't trust the host.

This means we need to make sure the host cannot subvert us through
virtio communication. In general it can corrupt our virtio data
and cause a DOS, but it should not be able to access any data
that is not explicitely under IO.

Also boundary checking so that the free list (which is accessible
to the host) cannot point outside the virtio ring. Note it could
still contain loops or similar, but these should only cause an DOS,
not a memory corruption or leak.

When we detect any out of bounds descriptor trigger an IO error.
We also use a WARN() (in case it was a software bug instead of
an attack). This implies that a malicious host can flood
the guest kernel log, but that's only a DOS and acceptable
in the threat model.

This patch only hardens the initial consumption of the free list,
the freeing comes later.

Any of these errors can cause DMA memory leaks, but there is nothing
we can do about that and that would be just a DOS.
