This commit adds the VirtIO 9p device driver based on the VirtIO driver stack in LK, `dev/virtio`. The driver supports a subset of 9P2000.L protocol (https://github.com/chaos/diod/blob/master/protocol.md), which is able to perform basic file operations (fread, fwrite, dirread, etc.). The primary interface for sending and receiving the 9p messages is `virtio_9p_rpc`, which is handy and scalable. The driver is limited to communicate to the host with only one outstanding 9p message per device due to the simplified driver design. Basically that is enough for embedded environments when there is no massive file IO. Signed-off-by: Cody Wong <codycswong@google.com>
The Little Kernel Embedded Operating System
The LK kernel is an SMP-aware kernel designed for small systems ported to a variety of platforms and cpu architectures.

TODO
To build and test for ARM on linux
- install or build qemu. v2.4 and above is recommended.
- install gcc for embedded arm (see note 1)
- run scripts/do-qemuarm (from the lk directory)
- you should see 'welcome to lk/MP'
This will get you a interactive prompt into LK which is running in qemu arm machine 'virt' emulation. type 'help' for commands.
Note: for ubuntu x86-64: sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-none-eabi or fetch a prebuilt toolchain from https://newos.org/toolchains/x86_64-elf-13.2.0-Linux-x86_64.tar.xz
