Add support for SG_IO passthru (packet commands) to the virtio-blk
backend.  Conceptually based on an older patch from Hannes Reinecke
but largely rewritten to match the code structure and layering in
virtio-blk.

Note that currently we issue the hose SG_IO synchronously.  We could
easily switch to async I/O, but that would required either bloating
the VirtIOBlockReq by the size of struct sg_io_hdr or an additional
memory allocation for each SG_IO request.

I think that's worthwhile. The extra bloat is trivial (especially as the number of inflight virtio requests is tightly bounded), and stalling the vcpu for requests is a pain.
