I feel the issue should be addressed in virtqueue_get_buf.
In fact, when using DMA API, we already keep track of the
length in vring_desc_extra.

So, isn't this just the question of passing the length and
validating it e.g. in vring_unmap_one_split?
We can also use the index_nospec trick since otherwise
there could be speculation concerns.
