This implements a feature in virtio-video driver to use exported virtio objects as video buffers. So, the users will be able to use resources allocated by other virtio devices such as virtio-gpu.
The virtio protocol for this feature is proposed by [1].
This commit depends on the following unmerged patches: * Virtio-video driver patch [2] * Patch series for virtio cross-device resources [3] * ChromeOS's local patch to use data_offset for offset of multiplanar format [4]
