If we tell the guest we support UFO and then migrate to host which
doesn't support it, we will find ourselves in grave difficulties.
Prevent this scenario by adding a flag to virtio-net's savevm format
which indicates whether the device requires host UFO support.

With the latest GSO/csum offload patches, any guest using an unpatched version
of dhclient (any Ubuntu guest, for instance), will no longer be able to get
a DHCP address.
dhclient is actually at fault here. It uses AF_PACKET to receive DHCP responses
but does not check auxdata to see if the packet has a valid csum. This causes
it to throw out the DHCP responses it gets from the virtio interface as there
is not a valid checksum.
Fedora has carried a patch to fix their dhclient (it's needed for Xen too) but
this patch has not made it into a release of dhclient. AFAIK, the patch is in
the dhclient CVS but I cannot confirm since their CVS is not public.
This patch, suggested by Rusty, looks for UDP packets (of a normal MTU) and
explicitly adds a checksum to them if they are missing one.
This allows unpatched dhclients to continue to work without needing to update
the guest kernels.

With '-netdev tap,id=foo -nic model=virtio,netdev=foo' virtio-net can
detect that its peer (i.e. the tap backend) supports vnet headers
and advertise to the guest that it can send packets with partial
checksums and/or TSO packets.
One complication is that if we're migrating and the source host
supports IFF_VNET_HDR but the destination host doesn't, we can't then
stop the guest from using those features. In this scenario, we just
fail the migration.

Use qemu_send_packet_raw to send gratuitous arp. This will ensure that
vnet header is handled properly.
Also, avoid sending the gratuitous packet to the guest. There doesn't
appear to be any reason for doing that and the code will currently just
crash if the NIC is not associated with a vlan.

This allows people to disable the IFF_VNET_HDR flag, e.g. for debugging

condition, e.g. in the case where a guest is being migrated from a host
which does support it.

Re-factor things so that there is only one call site for
net_tap_fd_init().
Two concerns about the QemuOpts usage here - firstly, we set the script
arguments to their default value and, secondly, we set the ifname value
to the name allocated by the kernel if none is supplied. Are we okay
with such things ending up in writeconfig output?

For now, we just add an empty header before writing and strip the header
after reading.
We really only want IFF_VNET_HDR when virtio_net is using it, but it
would significantly complicate matters to try and do that. There should
be little or no performance impact with always adding headers.

In future we will want to prepend a virtio_net header if the NIC didn't
