This adds vhost binary option to tap, to enable vhost net accelerator.
Default is off for now, we'll be able to make default on long term
when we know it's stable.
vhostfd option can be used by management, to pass in the fd. Assigning
vhostfd implies vhost=on.

Right now, downscript is not invoked reliably. If you execute 'quit' from the
monitor, it won't be invoked.
This fixes that by converting tap to use an exit_notifier to execute the
downscript. In this case, allowing an exit notifier to include state is
critically important for the conversion.

error_report() terminates the message with a newline. Strip it it
from its arguments.
This fixes a few error messages lacking a newline:
net_handle_fd_param()'s "No file descriptor named %s found", and
tap_open()'s "vnet_hdr=1 requested, but no kernel support for
IFF_VNET_HDR available" (all three versions).
There's one place that passes arguments without newlines
intentionally: load_vmstate(). Fix it up.
net_check_clients() prints this when an VLAN has host devices, but no
guest devices. It uses VLANState members nb_guest_devs and
nb_host_devs to keep track of these devices. However, -device does
not update nb_guest_devs, only net_init_nic() does that, for -net nic.
Check the VLAN clients directly, and remove the counters.

When vhost is bound to a backend device, we need to stop polling it when
vhost is started, and restart polling when vhost is stopped.
Add an API for that for use by vhost, and implement in tap backend.

net_tap_init() always sets vnet_hdr using qemu_opt_get_bool(), but
initialize it in net_init_tap() just to reduce confusion.

Okay, let's try re-enabling the drain-entire-queue behaviour, with a
difference - before each subsequent packet, use qemu_can_send_packet()
to check that we can send it. This is similar to how we check before
polling the tap fd and avoids having to drop a packet if the receiver
cannot handle it.
This patch should be a performance improvement since we no longer have
to go through the mainloop for each packet.

If qemu_send_packet_async() returns zero, it means the packet has been
queued and the sent callback will be invoked once it has been flushed.
This is only possible where the NIC's receive() handler returns zero
and promises to notify the networking core that room is available in its
queue again.
In the case where the receive handler does not have this capability
(and its queue fills up) it returns -1 and the networking core does not
queue up the packet. This condition is indicated by a -1 return from
qemu_send_packet_async().
Currently, tap handles this condition simply by dropping the packet. It
should do its best to avoid getting into this situation by checking such
NIC's have room for a packet before copying the packet from the tap
interface.
tap_send() used to achieve this by only reading a single packet before
returning to the mainloop. That way, tap_can_send() is called before
reading each packet.
tap_send() was changed to completely drain the tap interface queue
without taking into account the situation where the NIC returns an
error and the packet is not queued. Let's start fixing this by
reverting to the previous behaviour of reading one packet at a time.

Currently compiling the tap sources breaks on Mac OS X. This is because of:
1) tap-linux.h requiring Linux includes
2) typos
3) missing #includes
This patch adds what's necessary to compile tap happily on Mac OS X.
I haven't tested if using tap actually works, but I don't think that's a
major issue as that code was probably seriously untested before already.
I didn't split the patch, because it's only a few lines of code and
splitting is probably not worth the effort here.

Okay, this makes the tap options available on AIX even though there's
no support, but if we want to do it right we should have not compile
the tap code at all on AIX using e.g. CONFIG_TAP.
