[RFC PATCH 12/12] hw/virtio: Display error if vring flag field is not aligned

[Philippe Mathieu-Daudé]

Per the virtio spec [*] the vring is aligned, so the 'flag' field
is also 16-bit aligned. If it is not, this is a guest error, and
we'd rather report any malicious activity.

Enforce the transaction alignment by setting the 'aligned' attribute
and log unaligned addresses.
