historically the kernel queues packets two times. once
at the device and second in qdisc. this is believed to cause
interface stalls if one of these queues overruns.
setting IFF_ONE_QUEUE is the default in kernels >= 3.8. the
flag is ignored since then. see kernel commit

Recently, linux support multiqueue tap which could let userspace call TUNSETIFF
for a signle device many times to create multiple file descriptors as
independent queues. User could also enable/disabe a specific queue through
TUNSETQUEUE.
The patch adds the generic infrastructure to create multiqueue taps. To achieve
this a new parameter "queues" were introduced to specify how many queues were
expected to be created for tap by qemu itself. Alternatively, management could
also pass multiple pre-created tap file descriptors separated with ':' through a
new parameter fds like -netdev tap,id=hn0,fds="X:Y:..:Z". Multiple vhost file
descriptors could also be passed in this way.
Each TAPState were still associated to a tap fd, which mean multiple TAPStates
were created when user needs multiqueue taps. Since each TAPState contains one
NetClientState, with the multiqueue nic support, an N peers of NetClientState
were built up.
A new parameter, mq_required were introduce in tap_open() to create multiqueue
tap fds.

This patch introduces a helper tap_get_ifname() to get the device name of tap
device. This is needed when ifname is unspecified in the command line and qemu
were asked to create tap device by itself. In this situation, the name were
allocated by kernel, so if multiqueue is asked, we need to fetch its name after
creating the first queue.
Only linux has this support since it's the only platform that supports
multiqueue tap.

This patch add basic multiqueue support for Linux. When multiqueue is needed, we
will first check whether kernel support multiqueue tap before creating more
queues. Two new functions tap_fd_enable() and tap_fd_disable() were introduced
to enable and disable a specific queue. Since the multiqueue is only supported
in Linux, return error on other platforms.

Move public headers to include/net, and leave private headers in net/.
Put the virtio headers in include/net/tap.h, removing the multiple copies
that existed. Leave include/net/tap.h as the interface for NICs, and
net/tap_int.h as the interface for OS-specific parts of the tap backend.

For tap, we currently assume the vnet header size is 10
(the default value) but that might not be the case
if tap is persistent and has been used by qemu previously.
To fix, set vnet header size correctly on open.

I'm getting:
could not configure /dev/net/tun (tap%d): Operation not permitted
When the ioctl() fails, ifr.ifr_name will most likely not be overwritten.
So we better only use it when ifname contains a string.

With current sndbuf default value, a blocked
target guest can prevent another guest from
transmitting any packets. While current
sndbuf value (1M) is reported to help some
UDP based workloads, the default should
be safe (0).

In net/tap-linux.c, when manipulation of /dev/net/tun fails, it prints
(with fprintf) something like this:
warning: could not open /dev/net/tun: no virtual network emulation
this has 2 issues:
1) it is not a warning really, it's a fatal error (kvm exits after
that),
2) there's no indication as of what's actually wrong: printing errno there
is helpful.
The patch below removes the "warning" prefix, uses %m (since it's linux,
%m is available as format modifier), and changes fprintf() to %qemu_error().
Now it prints something like this instead:
could not configure /dev/net/tun: Device or resource busy
(there are 2 messages like that in the same function)

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.
This avoids the "TUNSETOFFLOAD ioctl() failed: Invalid argument" message
on kernels without TUNSETOFFLOAD support.
