VirtIO-Argo Development: Phase 1

This is a proposal for initial development towards a Linux VirtIO Argo transport device driver and the back-end platform support software to connect it, to implement some of the prerequisite critical pieces that are suitable for incorporation into upstream projects, and provide demonstration of the viability of this path.
