This protocol introduces an abstraction to access the VirtIo
Configuration and Device spaces.
The registers in these spaces are located at a different offset and have
a different width whether the transport layer is either PCI or MMIO. This
protocol would also allow to support VirtIo PCI devices with MSI-X
capability in a transparent way (Device space is at a different offset
when a PCIe device has MSI-X capability).

This protocol is similar to the standard UEFI BlockIo protocol,
except it has no function calls and simply defines a base address
in memory where reads & writes for the block device should occur.
One planned usage is to fill a memory region with a small disk
image, and allow it to be used as a normal disk by the
standard drivers.
