[PATCHv2 03/14] virtio_ring: support event idx feature

["Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst-H+wXaHxf7aLQT0dZR+AlfA@public.gmane.org>]

Support for the new event idx feature:
1. When enabling interrupts, publish the current avail index
   value to the host to get interrupts on the next update.
2. Use the new avail_event feature to reduce the number
   of exits from the guest.

Simple test with the simulator:

[virtio]# time ./virtio_test
spurious wakeus: 0x7

real    0m0.169s
user    0m0.140s
sys     0m0.019s
[virtio]# time ./virtio_test --no-event-idx
spurious wakeus: 0x11

real    0m0.649s
user    0m0.295s
sys     0m0.335s
