Current IO emulation is synchronous. The user VM need to wait for the
completion of the the I/O request before return. But Virtio Spec
introduces introduces asynchronous IO with a new register in MMIO/PIO
space named NOTIFY, to be used for FE driver to notify BE driver, ACRN
hypervisor can emulate this register by sending a notification to vCPU
in Service VM side. This way, FE side can resume to work without waiting
for the full completion of BE side response.

sbuf is now only used for debug purpose, but later, it will be used as a
common interfaces. So, move the sbuf related code out of the debug directory.
