[RFC PATCH for 8.0 00/13] vDPA-net inflight descriptors migration with SVQ

["Eugenio Pérez" <eperezma@redhat.com>]

The state of the descriptors (avail or used) may not be recoverable just
looking at the guest memory.  Out of order used descriptor may override
previous avail ones in the descriptor table or avail vring.

Currently we're not migrating this status in net devices because virtio-net,
vhost-kernel etc use the descriptors in order, so the information always
recoverable from guest's memory.  However, vDPA devices may use them out of
order, and other kind of devices like block need this support.

Shadow virtqueue is able to track these and resend them at the destination.
Add them to the virtio-net migration description so they are not lose in the
process.

This is a very early RFC just to validate the first draft so expect leftovers.
To fetch and request the descriptors from a device without SVQ need to be
implemented on top. Some other notable pending items are:
* Do not send the descriptors actually recoverable from the guest memory.
* Properly version the migrate data.
* Properly abstract the descriptors access from virtio-net to SVQ.
* Do not use VirtQueueElementOld but migrate directly VirtQueueElement.
* Replace lots of assertions with runtime conditionals.
* Other TODOs in the patch message or code changes.

Thanks.
