The path to /dev/vhost-net is currently hardcoded in vhost_dev_init().
This needs to be changed so that /dev/vhost-scsi can be used. Pass in
the device path instead of hardcoding it.

Drop the use of cpu_register_phys_memory_client() in favour of the new
MemoryListener API. The new API simplifies the caller, since there is no
need to deal with splitting and merging slots; however this is not exploited
in this patch.

When the vhost notifier is disabled, the userspace handler runs
immediately: virtio_pci_set_host_notifier_internal might
call virtio_queue_notify_vq.
Since the VQ state and the tap backend state aren't
recovered yet, this causes
"Guest moved used index from XXX to YYY" assertions.
The solution is to split out host notifier handling
from vhost VQ setup and disable notifiers as our last step
when we stop vhost-net. For symmetry enable them first thing
on start.

When MSI is off, each interrupt needs to be bounced through the io
thread when it's set/cleared, so vhost-net causes more context switches and
higher CPU utilization than userspace virtio which handles networking in
the same thread.
We'll need to fix this by adding level irq support in kvm irqfd,
for now disable vhost-net in these configurations.
Added a vhostforce flag to force vhost-net back on.

This adds vhost net device support in qemu. Will be tied to tap device
and virtio by following patches. Raw backend is currently missing,
will be worked on/submitted separately.
