When QEMU sets up a tap based network device backend, it mostly ignores errors
reported from various ioctl() calls it makes, assuming the TAP file descriptor
is valid. This assumption can easily be violated when the user is passing in a
pre-opened file descriptor. At best, the ioctls may fail with a -EBADF, but if
the user passes in a bogus FD number that happens to clash with a FD number that
QEMU has opened internally for another reason, a wide variety of errnos may
result, as the TUNGETIFF ioctl number may map to a completely different command
on a different type of file.
By ignoring all these errors, QEMU sets up a zombie network backend that will
never pass any data. Even worse, when QEMU shuts down, or that network backend
is hot-removed, it will close this bogus file descriptor, which could belong to
another QEMU device backend.
There's no obvious guaranteed reliable way to detect that a FD genuinely is a
TAP device, as opposed to a UNIX socket, or pipe, or something else. Checking
the errno from probing vnet hdr flag though, does catch the big common cases.
ie calling TUNGETIFF will return EBADF for an invalid FD, and ENOTTY when FD is
a UNIX socket, or pipe which catches accidental collisions with FDs used for
stdio, or monitor socket.
Previously the example below where bogus fd 9 collides with the FD used for the
chardev saw:
$ ./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -netdev tap,id=hostnet0,fd=9 \
-chardev socket,id=charchannel0,path=/tmp/qga,server,nowait \
-monitor stdio -vnc :0
qemu-system-x86_64: -netdev tap,id=hostnet0,fd=9: TUNGETIFF ioctl() failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
TUNSETOFFLOAD ioctl() failed: Bad address
QEMU 2.9.1 monitor - type 'help' for more information
(qemu) Warning: netdev hostnet0 has no peer
which gives a running QEMU with a zombie network backend.
With this change applied we get an error message and QEMU immediately exits
before carrying on and making a bigger disaster:
$ ./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -netdev tap,id=hostnet0,fd=9 \
-chardev socket,id=charchannel0,path=/tmp/qga,server,nowait \
-monitor stdio -vnc :0
qemu-system-x86_64: -netdev tap,id=hostnet0,vhost=on,fd=9: Unable to query TUNGETIFF on FD 9: Inappropriate ioctl for device

In my "build everything" tree, a change to the types in
qapi-schema.json triggers a recompile of about 4800 out of 5100
objects.
The previous commit split up qmp-commands.h, qmp-event.h, qmp-visit.h,
qapi-types.h. Each of these headers still includes all its shards.
Reduce compile time by including just the shards we actually need.
To illustrate the benefits: adding a type to qapi/migration.json now
recompiles some 2300 instead of 4800 objects. The next commit will
improve it further.

The linux tap and macvtap backends can be told to parse vnet headers
according to little or big endian. This is done through the TUNSETVNETLE
and TUNSETVNETBE ioctls.

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 add basic multiqueue support for Linux. When multiqueue is needed, we
will first check whether kernel support multiqueue tap before creating more
queues. Two new functions tap_fd_enable() and tap_fd_disable() were introduced
to enable and disable a specific queue. Since the multiqueue is only supported
in Linux, return error on other platforms.
