Current virtqueue_add API implementation is based on the scatterlist
struct, which uses kaddr. This is inadequate to all the use case of
vring. For example:
- Some usages don't use IOMMU, in this case the user can directly pass
   in a physical address in hand, instead of going through the sg
   implementation (e.g. the VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_SG feature)
- Sometimes, a guest physical page may not have a kaddr (e.g. high
   memory) but need to use vring (e.g. the VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_FREE_PAGE_VQ
   feature)

The new API virtqueue_add_one_desc enables the caller to assign a vring
desc with a physical address and len. Also, factor out the common code
with virtqueue_add in vring_set_avail.

You previously managed without this patch, and it's preferable
IMHO since this patchset is already too big.

I don't really understand what is wrong with virtio_add_sgs + sg_set_page.
I don't think is assumes a kaddr.

OK, I will use the previous method to send sgs.
Please have a check if there are other things need to be improved.

Best,
