This patch enables the virtio-net tx queue size to be configurable
between 256 (the default queue size) and 1024 by the user when the
vhost-user backend is used.
Currently, the maximum tx queue size for other backends is 512 due
to the following limitations:
- QEMU backend: the QEMU backend implementation in some cases may
send 1024+1 iovs to writev.
- Vhost_net backend: there are possibilities that the guest sends
a vring_desc of memory which crosses a MemoryRegion thereby
generating more than 1024 iovs after translation from guest-physical
address in the backend.

This patch adds a new internal "x-mtu-bypass-backend" property
to bypass backends for MTU feature negotiation.
When this property is set, the MTU feature is negotiated as soon
as supported by the guest and a MTU value is set via the host_mtu
parameter. In case the backend advertises the feature (e.g. DPDK's
vhost-user backend), the feature negotiation is propagated down to
the backend.
When this property is not set, the backend has to support the MTU
feature for its negotiation to succeed.
For compatibility purpose, this property is disabled for machine
types v2.9 and older.

This allows increasing the rx queue size up to 1024: unlike with tx,
guests don't put in huge S/G lists into RX so the risk of running into
the max 1024 limitation due to some off-by-one seems small.
It's helpful for users like OVS-DPDK which don't do any buffering on the
host - 1K roughly matches 500 entries in tun + 256 in the current rx
queue, which seems to work reasonably well. We could probably make do
with ~750 entries but virtio spec limits us to powers of two.
It might be a good idea to specify an s/g size limit in a future
version.
It also might be possible to make the queue size smaller down the road, 64
seems like the minimal value which will still work (as guests seem to
assume a queue full of 1.5K buffers is enough to process the largest
incoming packet, which is ~64K). No one actually asked for this, and
with virtio 1 guests can reduce ring size without need for host
configuration, so don't bother with this for now.

When running a fully emulated device in cross-endian conditions, including
a virtio 1.0 device offered to a big endian guest, we need to fix the vnet
headers. This is currently handled by the virtio_net_hdr_swap() function
in the core virtio-net code but it should actually be handled by the net
backend.
With this patch, virtio-net now tries to configure the backend to do the
endian fixing when the device starts (i.e. drivers sets the CONFIG_OK bit).
If the backend cannot support the requested endiannes, we have to fallback
onto virtio_net_hdr_swap(): this is recorded in the needs_vnet_hdr_swap flag,
to be used in the TX and RX paths.
Note that we reset the backend to the default behaviour (guest native
endianness) when the device stops (i.e. device status had CONFIG_OK bit and
driver unsets it). This is needed, with the linux tap backend at least,
otherwise the guest may lose network connectivity if rebooted into a
different endianness.
The current vhost-net code also tries to configure net backends. This will
be no more needed and will be reverted in a subsequent patch.

The return code of virtqueue_pop/vring_pop is unused except to check for
errors or 0. We can thus easily move allocation inside the functions
and just return a pointer to the VirtQueueElement.
The advantage is that we will be able to allocate only the space that
is needed for the actual size of the s/g list instead of the full
VIRTQUEUE_MAX_SIZE items. Currently VirtQueueElement takes about 48K
of memory, and this kind of allocation puts a lot of stress on malloc.
By cutting the size by two or three orders of magnitude, malloc can
use much more efficient algorithms.
The patch is pretty large, but changes to each device are testable
more or less independently. Splitting it would mostly add churn.

So far virtio-net-device can't expose host features to guest while
using virtio-mmio because it doesn't set DEFINE_VIRTIO_NET_FEATURES on
backend or transport. So the performance is low.
The host features belong to the backend while virtio-net-pci,
virtio-net-s390 and virtio-net-ccw set the DEFINE_VIRTIO_NET_FEATURES
on transports. But they already have the ability to forward property
accesses to the backend child. So if we move the host features to
backends, it doesn't break the backwards compatibility for them and
make host features work while using virtio-mmio.
Here we move DEFINE_VIRTIO_NET_FEATURES to the backend virtio-net. The
transports just sync the host features from backend. Meanwhile move
virtio_net_set_config_size to virtio-net to make sure the config size
is correct and don't expose it.

MST: rebase and resolve conflicts
It's hard to track all mac addresses and their configurations (e.g
vlan or ipv6) in qemu. Without this information, it's impossible to
build proper garp packet after migration. The only possible solution
to this is let guest (who knows all configurations) to do this.
So, this patch introduces a new readonly config status bit of virtio-net,
VIRTIO_NET_S_ANNOUNCE which is used to notify guest to announce
presence of its link through config update interrupt.When guest has
done the announcement, it should ack the notification through
VIRTIO_NET_CTRL_ANNOUNCE_ACK cmd. This feature is negotiated by a new
feature bit VIRTIO_NET_F_ANNOUNCE (which has already been supported by
Linux guest).
During load, a counter of announcing rounds is set so that after the vm is
running it can trigger rounds of config interrupts to notify the guest to build
and send the correct garps.

CVE-2013-4148 QEMU 1.0 integer conversion in
virtio_net_load()@hw/net/virtio-net.c
Deals with loading a corrupted savevm image.
> n->mac_table.in_use = qemu_get_be32(f);
in_use is int so it can get negative when assigned 32bit unsigned value.
> /* MAC_TABLE_ENTRIES may be different from the saved image */

passing this check ^^^
> qemu_get_buffer(f, n->mac_table.macs,

with good in_use value, "n->mac_table.in_use * ETH_ALEN" can get
positive and bigger than mac_table.macs. For example 0x81000000
satisfies this condition when ETH_ALEN is 6.
Fix it by making the value unsigned.
For consistency, change first_multi as well.
Note: all call sites were audited to confirm that
making them unsigned didn't cause any issues:
it turns out we actually never do math on them,
so it's easy to validate because both values are
always <= MAC_TABLE_ENTRIES.

Old qemu versions required that 1st s/g entry is the header.
Since QEMU 1.5, patchset titled "virtio-net: iovec handling cleanup"
removed this limitation but a feature bit is needed so guests know it's
safe to lay out header differently.
This patch applies on top and adds such a feature bit to QEMU.
It is set by default for virtio-net.
virtio net header inline with the data is beneficial
for latency and small packet bandwidth - guest driver
code utilizing this feature has been acked but missed 3.11
by a narrow margin, it's pending for 3.12.
This feature bit is cleared by default when compatibility with old
machine types is requested.
Other performance-sensitive devices (blk and scsi)
don't yet support arbitrary s/g layouts, so
we only set this bit for virtio-net for now.
There are plans to allow arbitrary layouts there, but
no code has been posted yet.
