We don't care about layout, so advertise that fact.

Somehow a naked u16 slipped into the glibc headers on my Ubuntu machine
(i386 2.17-0ubuntu5), breaking compile:
In file included from lguest.c:46:0:
/usr/include/linux/virtio_net.h:188:2: error: unknown type name ‘u16’
We use the kernel-style types anyway, just define them before the includes.
Also remove the advice on adding missing headers: that no longer works.

Lguest guests are UP, but the host is probably SMP, so real barriers are
required in case the device thread and the guest are on different CPUs.

The virtio spec was missing a barrier in example code, so I went back
to look at the lguest code. Indeed, we need one.

virtio requests are scatter-gather-style descriptors, but no
assumptions should be made about the layout. lguest was lazy here,
but saved by the fact that the network device hands all requests to
tun (which does it correctly) and console and random devices simply
use readv and writev.
Block devices, however, are broken: we convert to iovecs internally,
just make sure we handle the correctly.

We usually got away with ->next on the final entry being NULL, but it
finally bit me.

This is a better location instead of having it in Documentation.
