Bin Meng 8fb49b4c7a dm: Add a new uclass driver for VirtIO transport devices
This adds a new virtio uclass driver for “virtio” [1] family of
devices that are are found in virtual environments like QEMU,
yet by design they look like physical devices to the guest.

The uclass driver provides child_pre_probe() and child_post_probe()
methods to do some common operations for virtio device drivers like
device and driver supported feature negotiation, etc.

# VirtIO is a virtualization standard for network and disk device drivers
# where just the guest's device driver "knows" it is running in a virtual
# environment, and cooperates with the hypervisor. This enables guests to
# get high performance network and disk operations, and gives most of the
# performance benefits of paravirtualization. In the U-Boot case, the guest
# is U-Boot itself, while the virtual environment are normally QEMU targets
# like ARM, RISC-V and x86.
#
# See http://docs.oasis-open.org/virtio/virtio/v1.0/virtio-v1.0.pdf for
# the VirtIO specification v1.0.

This option is selected by any driver which implements the virtio
transport, such as CONFIG_VIRTIO_MMIO or CONFIG_VIRTIO_PCI.
