We need to be able to return the barrier from the code that prepares to
activate the virtio device. This triggered by a write to the
configuration fields stored in the PCI BAR. Since bars can be accessed
by both memory mapping and through PCI config I/O several prototypes
must be changed.

This can be uses to indicate to the caller that it should wait on the
barrier before returning as there is some asynchronous activity
triggered by the write which requires the KVM exit to block until it's
completed.
This is useful for having vCPU thread wait for the VMM thread to proceed
to activate the virtio devices.

When a total ordering between multiple atomic variables is not required
then use Ordering::Acquire with atomic loads and Ordering::Release with
atomic stores.
This will improve performance as this does not require a memory fence
on x86_64 which Ordering::SeqCst will use.
Add a comment to the code in the vCPU handling code where it operates on
multiple atomics to explain why Ordering::SeqCst is required.

This removes the dependency of the pci crate on the devices crate which
now only contains the device implementations themselves.

There will be some cases where the implementation of the snapshot()
function from the Snapshottable trait will require to modify some
internal data, therefore we make this possible by updating the trait
definition with snapshot(&mut self).

In this commit we saved the BDF of a PCI device and set it to "devid"
in GSI routing entry, because this field is mandatory for GICv3-ITS.

Split the generic virtio code (queues and device type) from the
VirtioDevice trait, transport and device implementations.
This also simplifies the feature handling in vhost_user_backend as the
vm-virtio crate is no longer has any features.
