    bhyve: Improve HDA stream descriptor validation
    
    The length of each block in the stream must be non-zero.  This is
    assumed in hda_transfer(), otherwise an out-of-bounds read or write is
    possible.
    
    Use atomic loads to access stream descriptor fields, since they are
    guest-controlled.  Make sure that the descriptor array is suitably
    aligned so that we can drop the __packed annotation from the structure
    definition; per section 3.3.42 of the HDA spec the BDL pointer is
    supposed to be 128-byte aligned, in fact.
