What bothers me here is that arch code depends on virtio now.
It works even with a modular virtio when functions are inline,
but it seems fragile: e.g. it breaks virtio as an out of tree module,
since layout of struct virtio_device can change.

I'm not sure what to do with this yet, will try to think about it
over the weekend. Thanks!
