add functions to provide direct access to guest memory as vmd addresses
iovec_mem() populates an iovec array based on guest physical addresses. this allows the use of things like readv and writev for moving data between the guest and a disk image file without having to bounce the memory. vaddr_mem() provides a vmd usable pointer based on a guests physical address. this makes it possible to directly reference things like virtio rings without having to bounce that memory either. however, it assumes that a contiguous range of guest physical memory will sit in a single vm memory range. mlarkin@ says this is right. ok mlarkin@
