This is a mostly-mechanical conversion that creates a new flat
union 'Netdev' QAPI type that covers all the branches of the
former 'NetClientOptions' simple union, where the branches are
now listed in a new 'NetClientDriver' enum rather than generated
from the simple union. The existence of a flat union has no
change to the command line syntax accepted for new code, and
will make it possible for a future patch to switch the QMP
command to parse a boxed union for no change to valid QMP; but
it does have some ripple effect on the C code when dealing with
the new types.
While making the conversion, note that the 'NetLegacy' type
remains unchanged: it applies only to legacy command line options,
and will not be ported to QMP, so it should remain a wrapper
around a simple union; to avoid confusion, the type named
'NetClientOptions' is now gone, and we introduce 'NetLegacyOptions'
in its place. Then, in the C code, we convert from NetLegacy to
Netdev as soon as possible, so that the bulk of the net stack
only has to deal with one QAPI type, not two. Note that since
the old legacy code always rejected 'hubport', we can just omit
that branch from the new 'NetLegacyOptions' simple union.

This new message is sent only if the backend supports the new

The payload of this new message is the MAC address of the guest (not known by
the backend). The MAC address is copied in the first 6 bytes of a u64 to avoid

This new message has no equivalent ioctl so a new callback is added in the

This patch is initially based a patch from Nikolay Nikolaev.
This patch adds vhost-user multiple queue support, by creating a nc
and vhost_net pair for each queue.
Qemu exits if find that the backend can't support the number of requested
queues (by providing queues=# option). The max number is queried by a
new message, VHOST_USER_GET_QUEUE_NUM, and is sent only when protocol
feature VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_MQ is present first.
The max queue check is done at vhost-user initiation stage. We initiate
one queue first, which, in the meantime, also gets the max_queues the
backend supports.
In older version, it was reported that some messages are sent more times
than necessary. Here we came an agreement with Michael that we could
categorize vhost user messages to 2 types: non-vring specific messages,
which should be sent only once, and vring specific messages, which should
be sent per queue.
Here I introduced a helper function vhost_user_one_time_request(), which
lists following messages as non-vring specific messages:
VHOST_USER_SET_OWNER
VHOST_USER_RESET_DEVICE
VHOST_USER_SET_MEM_TABLE
VHOST_USER_GET_QUEUE_NUM
For above messages, we simply ignore them when they are not sent the first
time.

vhost_dev_stop would disable backend and only afterwards, unset guest

active. This can lose interrupts causing guest networking to fail. In
particular, this has been observed during migration.
To fix this, several other changes are needed:
- remove the hdev->started assertion in vhost.c since we may want to
start the guest notifiers before vhost starts and stop the guest
notifiers after vhost is stopped.
- introduce the vhost_net_set_vq_index() and call it before setting
guest notifiers. This is to guarantee vhost_net has the correct
virtqueue index when setting guest notifiers.

Decouple vhost from the Linux kernel by introducing vhost_ops. The
intention is to provide different backends - a 'kernel' backend based on
the ioctl interface, and an 'user' backend based on a UNIX domain socket
and shared memory interface.

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.

This decouples virtio-net from the TAP netdev backend and allows support
for other backends to be implemented.
