All NICs have a cleanup function that, in most cases, zeroes the pointer
to the NICState. In some cases, it frees data belonging to the NIC.
However, this function is never called except when exiting from QEMU.
It is not necessary to NULL pointers and free data here; the right place
to do that would be in the device's unrealize function, after calling
qemu_del_nic. Zeroing the NIC multiple times is also wrong for multiqueue
devices.
This cleanup function gets in the way of making the NetClientStates for
the NIC hold an object_ref reference to the object, so get rid of it.

The following registers control whether MAC can receive frames:
- MODER.RXEN bit that enables/disables receiver;
- TX_BD_NUM register that specifies number of RX descriptors.
Notify QEMU networking core when the MAC is ready to receive frames.
Discard frame and raise BUSY interrupt when the frame arrives but the
current RX descriptor is not empty.
