[PATCH 2/6] virtio: add register_virtio_root_device()

[Mark McLoughlin]

Add a function to allocate a root device object to group the
devices from a given virtio implementation.

Also add a 'module' sysfs symlink to allow so that userspace
can generically determine which virtio implementation a
device is associated with. This will be used by Fedora
mkinitrd to generically determine e.g. that virtio_pci is
needed to mount a given root filesystem.
