Hello,

These patches are an initial attempt at supporting hibernation for
virtio drivers.

The default configuration of event_index=on doesn't work; i.e. restore
from a hibernated image only works if the devices have event_index
support turned off.  I have not yet dug into this, but is most likely
due to some state not being sync'ed.  This could be related to the
hack that is patch 3.

Each virtio driver has to be modified to add support for the
freeze/restore callbacks to delete and then re-add the vqs just before
and after hibernation.

Testing:

I've not tested S3 (suspend).

For virtio-net, ping continues working across hibernate (lost one
packet in sole testing).

For virtio-blk, disk activity continues working.

For virtio-console, port IO continues working.
