Fix variable names in some kerneldocs, naming in others.
Add kerneldocs for struct vring_desc and vring_interrupt.

The ring element addresses are passed between components with different
alignments assumptions. Thus, if guest/userspace selects a pointer and
host then gets and dereferences it, we might need to decrease the
compiler-selected alignment to prevent compiler on the host from
assuming pointer is aligned.
This actually triggers on ARM with -mabi=apcs-gnu - which is a
deprecated configuration, but it seems safer to handle this
generally.
Note that userspace that allocates the memory is actually OK and does
not need to be fixed, but userspace that gets it from guest or another
process does need to be fixed. The later doesn't generally talk to the
kernel so while it might be buggy it's not talking to the kernel in the
buggy way - it's just using the header in the buggy way - so fixing
header and asking userspace to recompile is the best we can do.
I verified that the produced kernel binary on x86 is exactly identical
before and after the change.

Add casts to fix these warnings:
./usr/include/linux/netfilter_arp/arp_tables.h:200:19: error: pointer of type 'void *' used in arithmetic [-Werror=pointer-arith]

Those are theoretical probably but kernel doesn't control compiler flags
in userspace.

There's no reason to expose struct vring_packed in UAPI - if we do we
won't be able to change or drop it, and it's not part of any interface.
Let's move it to virtio_ring.c

Lguest seems to be rather unused these days. It has seen only patches
ensuring it still builds the last two years and its official state is
"Odd Fixes".
Remove it in order to be able to clean up the paravirt code.

The virtio_ring.h header is used in userspace programs (ie. QEMU),
too. Here we can not assume that sizeof(pointer) is the same as
sizeof(long), e.g. when compiling for Windows, so the typecast in
vring_init() should be done with (uintptr_t) instead of (unsigned long).

Host needs to know vring element alignment requirements:
simply doing alignof on structures doesn't work reliably: on some
platforms gcc has alignof(uint32_t) == 2.
Add macros for alignment as specified in virtio 1.0 cs01,
export them to userspace as well.

virtio 1.0 makes all memory structures LE, so
we need APIs to conditionally do a byteswap on BE
architectures.
To make it easier to check code statically,
add virtio specific types for multi-byte integers
in memory.
Add low level wrappers that do a byteswap conditionally, these will be
useful e.g. for vhost. Add high level wrappers that
query device endian-ness and act accordingly.
