From: Liang Li <liang.z.li@xxxxxxxxx>
Define the flags and head struct for a new host request virtual
queue. Guest can get requests from host and then responds to
them on this new virtual queue.
Host can make use of this virtqueue to request the guest to do
some operations, e.g. drop page cache, synchronize file system,
etc. The hypervisor can get some of guest's runtime information
through this virtual queue too, e.g. the guest's unused page
information, which can be used for live migration optimization.
