[PATCH 2/3] virtio-gpu api: VIRTIO_GPU_F_MEMORY

Introduce the concept of memory regions to virtio-gpu.  Initially only
memory regions composed of guest pages are supported (pretty much like
current backing storage for resources).  I expect support for other
memory types will be added later on.

VIRTIO_GPU_CMD_MEMORY_CREATE:
    creates a new memory region.

VIRTIO_GPU_CMD_MEMORY_UNREF:
    destroys a memory region.

VIRTIO_GPU_CMD_RESOURCE_ATTACH_MEMORY:
    Use memory region as backing storage for the given resource.
    The existing VIRTIO_GPU_CMD_RESOURCE_DETACH_BACKING command
    can be used to detach.

Motivation: This separates storage management from resource management.
It allows memory pooling (vulkan support will most likely need this).
It makes things a bit more flexible in general, for example we can
represent gem objects as memory regions even if we don't know the format
yet (happens on dma-buf import for example).
