We use vhostforce to enable vhost even if Guests don't have MSI-X
support and we fall back to QEMU virtio-net.
This gives a very small performance gain, but the disadvantage
is that guest now controls which virtio code is running
(qemu or vhost) so our attack surface is doubled.
This patch will enable vhost unconditionally whenever it's requested.
For compatibility, enable vhost when vhostforce is set, as well.

Ensure that the vhost-user slave knows when the vrings are valid and
when they are invalid, for example during a guest reboot.
The vhost-user protocol says this of VHOST_RESET_OWNER:
Issued when a new connection is about to be closed. The Master
will no longer own this connection (and will usually close it).
Send this message to tell the vhost-user slave that the vhost session
has ended and that session state (e.g. vrings) is no longer valid.

commit 2e6d46d77e (vhost: add
vhost_get_features and vhost_ack_features) removes the step that
initializes the acked_features to backend_features.
As this field is now uninitialized, vhost initialization will sometimes
fail.
To fix, initialize acked_features on each ack.

commit a9f98bb5eb "vhost: multiqueue
support" changed the order of stopping the device. Previously
vhost_dev_stop would disable backend and only afterwards, unset guest
notifiers. We now unset guest notifiers while vhost is still
active. This can lose interrupts causing guest networking to fail. In
particular, this has been observed during migration.
To fix this, several other changes are needed:
- remove the hdev->started assertion in vhost.c since we may want to
start the guest notifiers before vhost starts and stop the guest
notifiers after vhost is stopped.
- introduce the vhost_net_set_vq_index() and call it before setting
guest notifiers. This is to guarantee vhost_net has the correct
virtqueue index when setting guest notifiers.
MST: fix up error handling.

Checking vhost device internal state in vhost_net looks like
a layering violation since vhost_net does not

caller in virtio net uses its own flag,
vhost_started, to ensure vhost is started/stopped

As of today, vhost assumes guest and host have the same endianness.
This is definitely not compatible with modern PPC64 and ARM that
can change endianness at runtime. Let's disable vhost-net and print
an error message when we detect such a case:
qemu-system-ppc64: vhost-net does not support cross-endian
qemu-system-ppc64: unable to start vhost net: 38: falling back on userspace virtio
This way users can continue to run VMs without changing their setup and
have a chance to know that performance will be impacted.

The supplied chardev id will be inspected for supported options. Only
a socket backend, with a set path (i.e. a Unix socket) and optionally
the server parameter set, will be allowed. Other options (nowait, telnet)
will make the chardev unusable and the netdev will not be initialised.
Additional checks for validity:
- requires `-numa node,memdev=..`
- requires `-device virtio-net-*`
The `vhostforce` option is used to force vhost-net when we deal with
non-MSIX guests.
