MIC card and host drivers are able to use virtio over the PCIe bus by
treating ioremap return values for the prefetchable BARs as pointers,
effectively treating I/O memory the same as system memory. However this
results in sparse warnings. Knowing that these warnings do not point to
a functional issue, this patch suppresses these warnings.

Endianness issues are now consistent as per the documentation in
host/mic_virtio.h. Sparse warnings related to endianness are also fixed.
Note that the MIC driver implementation assumes that the host can be
both BE or LE whereas the card is always LE.

Avoid declaring ALIGN() and __aligned() in
include/uapi/linux/mic_common.h since they pollute user space
namespace. Also, mic_aligned_size() can be simply replaced simply by
sizeof() since all structures where mic_aligned_size() is used are
declared using __attribute__ ((aligned(8)));

This puts two macros, ALIGN() and __aligned(), into arbitrary user space
namespace. This really isn't safe or acceptable, especially since those
symbols are highly generic.
...
When these structures are forced-aligned, they will in fact have padding
automatically added by the compiler to an 8-byte boundary anyway, so
mic_aligned_size() does nothing.

Use this new function to make code more comprehensible, since we are
reinitialzing the completion, not initializing.

This patch introduces the card "Virtio over PCIe" interface for
Intel MIC. It allows virtio drivers on the card to communicate with their
user space backends on the host via a device page. Ring 3 apps on the host
can add, remove and configure virtio devices. A thin MIC specific
virtio_config_ops is implemented which is borrowed heavily from previous
similar implementations in lguest and s390 @
drivers/lguest/lguest_device.c
drivers/s390/kvm/kvm_virtio.c
