These helper routines supply most of the virtqueue_ops for hypervisors
which want to use a ring for virtio.  Unlike the previous lguest
implementation:

3) The page numbers are always 64 bit (PAE anyone?)

32 bits of page numbers give 44 bits of physical address on x86. That's 16TB per guest. Admittedly it's smaller on a VAX.

I don't like the chaining and would prefer the descriptor to refer to an array of page descriptors. However I can't complain since this isn't common code.
