So, this adds another host-side virtqueue implementation.

Can we combine them together conveniently?  You pulled out more stuff
into vring.h which is a start, but it's a bit overloaded.

Perhaps we should separate the common fields into struct vring, and use
it to build:

        struct vring_guest {
                struct vring vr;
                u16 last_used_idx;
        };

        struct vring_host {
                struct vring vr;
                u16 last_avail_idx;
        };

I haven't looked closely at vhost to see what it wants, but I would
think we could share more code.

Cheers,
Rusty.
