Add a new QEMU netdev backend that is intended to invoke vhost_net with the
vhost-user backend. It uses an Unix socket chardev to establish a
communication with the 'slave' (client and server mode supported).
At runtime the netdev will handle OPEN/CLOSE events from the chardev. Upon
disconnection it will set link_down accordingly and notify virtio-net; the
virtio-net interface will go down.

vhost_dev_init will replace devfd and devpath with a single opaque argument.
This is initialised with a file descriptor. When TAP is used (through
vhost_net), open /dev/vhost-net and pass the fd as an opaque parameter in
VhostNetOptions. The same applies to vhost-scsi - open /dev/vhost-scsi and
pass the fd.

The virtio_net offload APIs are used on the NIC's peer (i.e. the tap
device). The API was defined to implicitly use nc->peer, saving the
caller the trouble.
This wasn't ideal because:
1. There are callers who have the peer but not the NIC. Currently they
are forced to bypass the API and access peer->info->... directly.
2. The rest of the net.h API uses nc, not nc->peer, so it is
inconsistent.
This patch pushes nc->peer back up to callers.

Currently macvtap based macvlan device is working in promiscuous
mode, we want to implement mac-programming over macvtap through
Libvirt for better performance.
Design:
QEMU notifies Libvirt when rx-filter config is changed in guest,
then Libvirt query the rx-filter information by a monitor command,
and sync the change to macvtap device. Related rx-filter config
of the nic contains main mac, rx-mode items and vlan table.
This patch adds a QMP event to notify management of rx-filter change,
and adds a monitor command for management to query rx-filter
information.
Test:
If we repeatedly add/remove vlan, and change macaddr of vlan
interfaces in guest by a loop script.
Result:
The events will flood the QMP client(management), management takes
too much resource to process the events.
Event_throttle API (set rate to 1 ms) can avoid the events to flood
QMP client, but it could cause an unexpected delay (~1ms), guests
guests normally expect rx-filter updates immediately.
So we use a flag for each nic to avoid events flooding, the event
is emitted once until the query command is executed. The flag
implementation could not introduce unexpected delay.
There maybe exist an uncontrollable delay if we let Libvirt do the
real change, guests normally expect rx-filter updates immediately.
But it's another separate issue, we can investigate it when the
work in Libvirt side is done.
Michael S. Tsirkin: tweaked to enable events on start
Michael S. Tsirkin: fixed not to crash when no id
Michael S. Tsirkin: fold in patch:
"additional fixes for mac-programming feature"
Amos Kong: always notify QMP client if mactable is changed

Socket buffer sizes were hard-coded to 4K for VDE and socket netdevs. Bump this
up to 68K (ala tap netdev) to handle maximum GSO packet size (64k) plus plenty
of room for the ethernet and virtio_net headers.
Originally, ran into this limitation when using -netdev UDP sockets to connect
VM-to-VM, where VM interface is configure with MTU=9000. (Using virtio_net
NIC model). Test is simple: ping -M do -s 8500 <target>. This test will
attempt to ping with unfragmented packet of given size. Without patch, size
is limited to < 4K (minus protocol hdrs). With patch, ping test works with pkt
size up to 9000 (again, minus protocol hdrs).
v2: per Stefan, increase buf size to (4096+65536) as done in tap and apply
to vde and socket netdevs.
v1: increase buf size to 12K just for -netdev UDP sockets

Edivaldo reports a problem that the array of NetClientState in NICState is too
large - MAX_QUEUE_NUM(1024) which will wastes memory even if multiqueue is not
used.
Instead of static arrays, solving this issue by allocating the queues on demand
for both the NetClientState array in NICState and VirtIONetQueue array in
VirtIONet.
Tested by myself, with single virtio-net-pci device. The memory allocation is
almost the same as when multiqueue is not merged.

Recently, linux support multiqueue tap which could let userspace call TUNSETIFF
for a signle device many times to create multiple file descriptors as
independent queues. User could also enable/disabe a specific queue through
TUNSETQUEUE.
The patch adds the generic infrastructure to create multiqueue taps. To achieve
this a new parameter "queues" were introduced to specify how many queues were
expected to be created for tap by qemu itself. Alternatively, management could
also pass multiple pre-created tap file descriptors separated with ':' through a
new parameter fds like -netdev tap,id=hn0,fds="X:Y:..:Z". Multiple vhost file
descriptors could also be passed in this way.
Each TAPState were still associated to a tap fd, which mean multiple TAPStates
were created when user needs multiqueue taps. Since each TAPState contains one
NetClientState, with the multiqueue nic support, an N peers of NetClientState
were built up.
A new parameter, mq_required were introduce in tap_open() to create multiqueue
tap fds.

This patch introduces a helper tap_get_ifname() to get the device name of tap
device. This is needed when ifname is unspecified in the command line and qemu
were asked to create tap device by itself. In this situation, the name were
allocated by kernel, so if multiqueue is asked, we need to fetch its name after
creating the first queue.
Only linux has this support since it's the only platform that supports
multiqueue tap.

This patch adds basic multiqueue support for qemu. The idea is simple, an array
of NetClientStates were introduced in NICState, parse_netdev() were extended to
find and match all NetClientStates belongs to the backend and place their
pointers in NICConf. Then qemu_new_nic can setup a N:N mapping between NICStates
that belongs to a nic and NICStates belongs to the netdev. And a queue_index
were introduced in NetClientState to track its index. After this, each peers of
a NICState were abstracted as a queue.
After this change, all NetClientState that belongs to the same backend/nic has
the same id. When use want to change the link status, all NetClientStates that
belongs to the same backend/nic will be also changed. When user want to delete
a device or netdev, all NetClientStates that belongs to the same backend/nic
will be deleted also. Changing or deleting an specific queue is not allowed.
