fc0b9b0e1c vhost-vsock: add virtio sockets device
Implement the new virtio sockets device for host<->guest communication
using the Sockets API.  Most of the work is done in a vhost kernel
driver so that virtio-vsock can hook into the AF_VSOCK address family.
The QEMU vhost-vsock device handles configuration and live migration
while the rx/tx happens in the vhost_vsock.ko Linux kernel driver.

The vsock device must be given a CID (host-wide unique address):

  # qemu -device vhost-vsock-pci,id=vhost-vsock-pci0,guest-cid=3 ...
