Since commit 6e99c63 "net/socket: Drop net_socket_can_send" and friends,
net queues need to be explicitly flushed after qemu_can_send_packet()
returns false, because the netdev side will disable the polling of fd.
This fixes the case of "cont" after "stop" (or migration).

The traditional QMP command handler interface
int qmp_FOO(Monitor *mon, const QDict *params, QObject **ret_data);
doesn't provide for returning an Error object. Instead, the handler
is expected to stash it in the monitor with qerror_report().
When we rebased QMP on top of QAPI, we didn't change this interface.
Instead, commit 776574d introduced "middle mode" as a temporary aid
for converting existing QMP commands to QAPI one by one. More than
three years later, we're still using it.
Middle mode has two effects:
* Instead of the native input marshallers
static void qmp_marshal_input_FOO(QDict *, QObject **, Error **)
it generates input marshallers conforming to the traditional QMP
command handler interface.
* It suppresses generation of code to register them with
qmp_register_command()
This permits giving them internal linkage.
As long as we need qmp-commands.hx, we can't use the registry behind
qmp_register_command(), so the latter has to stay for now.
The former has to go to get rid of qerror_report(). Changing all QMP
commands to fit the QAPI mold in one go was impractical back when we
started, but by now there are just a few stragglers left:
do_qmp_capabilities(), qmp_qom_set(), qmp_qom_get(), qmp_object_add(),
qmp_netdev_add(), do_device_add().
Switch middle mode to generate native input marshallers, and adapt the
stragglers. Simplifies both the monitor code and the stragglers.
Rename do_qmp_capabilities() to qmp_capabilities(), and
do_device_add() to qmp_device_add, because that's how QMP command
handlers are named today.

qerror_report_err() is a transitional interface to help with
converting existing monitor commands to QMP. It should not be used
elsewhere.
The only remaining user in qemu-option.c is qemu_opts_parse(). Is it
used in QMP context? If not, we can simply replace
qerror_report_err() by error_report_err().
The uses in qemu-img.c, qemu-io.c, qemu-nbd.c and under tests/ are
clearly not in QMP context.
The uses in vl.c aren't either, because the only QMP command handlers
there are qmp_query_status() and qmp_query_machines(), and they don't
call it.
Remaining uses:
* drive_def(): Command line -drive and such, HMP drive_add and pci_add
* hmp_chardev_add(): HMP chardev-add
* monitor_parse_command(): HMP core
* tmp_config_parse(): Command line -tpmdev
* net_host_device_add(): HMP host_net_add
* net_client_parse(): Command line -net and -netdev
* qemu_global_option(): Command line -global
* vnc_parse_func(): Command line -display, -vnc, default display, HMP
change, QMP change. Bummer.
* qemu_pci_hot_add_nic(): HMP pci_add
* usb_net_init(): Command line -usbdevice, HMP usb_add
Propagate errors through qemu_opts_parse(). Create a convenience
function qemu_opts_parse_noisily() that passes errors to
error_report_err(). Switch all non-QMP users outside tests to it.
That leaves vnc_parse_func(). Propagate errors through it. Since I'm
touching it anyway, rename it to vnc_parse().

Currently QEMU dynamically generates mac address for the NIC which

specifying mac address, the mac address will increase for the same NIC
along with hotplug and hot-unplug, and at last it will overflow. And if
we codeplug one NIC with mac address e.g. "52:54:00:12:34:56", then
hotplug one NIC without specifying mac address and the mac address of
the hotplugged NIC is duplicate of "52:54:00:12:34:56".

Error reporting for netdev_add is broken: the net_client_init_fun[]
report the actual errors with (at best) error_report(), and their
caller net_client_init1() makes up a generic error on top.
For command line and HMP, this produces an mildly ugly error cascade.
In QMP, the actual errors go to stderr, and the generic error becomes
the command's error reply.
To fix this, we need to convert the net_client_init_fun[] to Error.
To permit fixing them one by one, add an Error ** parameter to the
net_client_init_fun[]. If the call fails without returning an Error,
make up the same generic Error as before. But if it returns one, use
that instead. Since none of them does so far, no functional change.

When a link change occurs on a backend (like tap), we currently do
not propage such change to the nic. As a result, when someone turns
off a link on a tap device, for instance, then a guest doesn't see
that change and continues to try to send traffic or run DHCP even
though the lower-layer is disconnected. This is OK when the network
is set up as a HUB since the the guest may be connected to other HUB
ports too, but when it's set up as a netdev, it makes thinkgs worse.
The patch addresses this by setting the peers link down only when the
peer is not a HUBPORT device. With this patch, in the following config
-netdev tap,id=net0 -device e1000,mac=XXXXX,netdev=net0
when net0 link is turned off, the guest e1000 shows lower-layer link
down. This allows guests to boot much faster in such configurations.
With windows guest, it also allows the network to recover properly
since windows will not configure the link-local IPv4 address, and
when the link is turned on, the proper address address is configured.

VALE lets you interconnect virtual machines.
netmap and VALE are implemented as a non-intrusive kernel module,
support NICs from multiple vendors, are part of standard FreeBSD
distributions and available in source format for Linux too.
To compile QEMU with netmap support, use the following configure
options:
./configure [...] --enable-netmap --extra-cflags=-I/path/to/netmap/sys
where "/path/to/netmap" contains the netmap source code, available at
http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/netmap/
The same webpage contains more information about the netmap project
(together with papers and presentations).

[Assigning a multicast MAC address to a NIC leads to confusing behavior.
Reject multicast MAC addresses so users are alerted to their error
straight away.
The "net/eth.h" in6_addr rename prevents a name collision with
<netinet/in.h> on Linux.
