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.

I assume this will be updated once the specification is acked
by the virtio tc. Holding off on this one for now since
we know there will be host/guest ABI changes.

Yeah. I will update this driver once the specification is acked by the virtio tc.

Thanks.
