Do you think we're required to support both 0 and -1 for this?

I think we should convert that reserved field in the vring to a "pa";
allowing this resource to not be 1:1 mapped into the remote. And if
nothing else just to be consistent with the carveouts and devmem.


@Suman, do you have any input on this?
