Add an I2C bus driver for virtio para-virtualization.
The controller can be emulated by the backend driver in
any device model software by following the virtio protocol.
This driver communicates with the backend driver through a
virtio I2C message structure which includes following parts:
- Header: i2c_msg addr, flags, len.
- Data buffer: the pointer to the i2c msg data.
- Status: the processing result from the backend.
People may implement different backend drivers to emulate
different controllers according to their needs. A backend
example can be found in the device model of the open source
project ACRN. For more information, please refer to
https://projectacrn.org.
The virtio device ID 34 is used for this I2C adpter since IDs
before 34 have been reserved by other virtio devices.
Please reserve the ID with the virtio tc so no one conflicts.
Sure. I will send a patch to request the ID.

virtio16 is for legacy devices, modern ones should be __le.
and we don't really need to pack it I think.
Right. I will fix these. Thanks.
