From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
This patch adds a new memcpy_fromiovec_out() library function which modifies
the passed *iov following memcpy_fromiovec(), but also returns the next current
iovec pointer via **iov_out.
This is useful for vhost ANY_LAYOUT support when guests are allowed to generate
incoming virtio request headers combined with subsequent SGL payloads into a
single iovec.
