Vhost shadow virtqueue (SVQ)is an intermediate jump for virtqueue notifications and buffers, allowing qemu to track them. While qemu is forwarding the buffers and virtqueue changes, is able to commit the memory it's being dirtied, the same way regular qemu's VirtIO devices do. This commit only exposes basic SVQ allocation and free, so changes regarding different aspects of SVQ (notifications forwarding, buffer forwarding, starting/stopping) are more isolated and easier to bisect.
