vring: Introduce vring_use_dma_api()

This is a kludge, but no one has come up with a a better idea yet.
We'll introduce DMA API support guarded by vring_use_dma_api().
Eventually we may be able to return true on more and more systems,
and hopefully we can get rid of vring_use_dma_api() entirely some
day.

* The interaction between virtio and a possible IOMMU is a mess.
*
* On most systems with virtio, physical addresses match bus addresses,
* and it doesn't particularly matter whether we use the DMA API.
*
* On some systems, including Xen and any system with a physical device
* that speaks virtio behind a physical IOMMU, we must use the DMA API
* for virtio DMA to work at all.
*
* On other systems, including SPARC and PPC64, virtio-pci devices are
* enumerated as though they are behind an IOMMU, but the virtio host
* ignores the IOMMU, so we must either pretend that the IOMMU isn't
* there or somehow map everything as the identity.
*
* For the time being, we preserve historic behavior and bypass the DMA
* API.
