Currently macvtap based macvlan device is working in promiscuous
mode, we want to implement mac-programming over macvtap through
Libvirt for better performance.
Design:
QEMU notifies Libvirt when rx-filter config is changed in guest,
then Libvirt query the rx-filter information by a monitor command,
and sync the change to macvtap device. Related rx-filter config
of the nic contains main mac, rx-mode items and vlan table.
This patch adds a QMP event to notify management of rx-filter change,
and adds a monitor command for management to query rx-filter
information.
Test:
If we repeatedly add/remove vlan, and change macaddr of vlan
interfaces in guest by a loop script.
Result:
The events will flood the QMP client(management), management takes
too much resource to process the events.
Event_throttle API (set rate to 1 ms) can avoid the events to flood
QMP client, but it could cause an unexpected delay (~1ms), guests
guests normally expect rx-filter updates immediately.
So we use a flag for each nic to avoid events flooding, the event
is emitted once until the query command is executed. The flag
implementation could not introduce unexpected delay.
There maybe exist an uncontrollable delay if we let Libvirt do the
real change, guests normally expect rx-filter updates immediately.
But it's another separate issue, we can investigate it when the
work in Libvirt side is done.

Michael S. Tsirkin: fixed not to crash when no id
Michael S. Tsirkin: fold in patch:
"additional fixes for mac-programming feature"
Amos Kong: always notify QMP client if mactable is changed
Amos Kong: return NULL list if no net client supports rx-filter query

Virtio-net driver currently negotiates network offloads
on startup via features mechanism and have no ability to
disable and re-enable offloads later.
This patch introduced a new control command that allows
to configure device network offloads state dynamically.
The patch also introduces a new feature flag
VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_GUEST_OFFLOADS.

Commit 32993698 (vhost: disable on tap link down) tries to disable the vhost
also when the peer's link is down. But the check was not done properly, the
vhost were only started when:
1) peer's link is not down
2) virtio-net has already been started.
Since == have a higher precedence than &&, place a brace to make sure both the
conditions were met then does the check. This fixes the crash when doing a savem
after set the link off which let qemu crash and complains:
virtio_net_save: Assertion `!n->vhost_started' failed.

Commit 14f9b664 (hw/virtio-net.c: set config size using host features) tries to
calculate config size based on the host features. But it forgets the
VIRTIO_NET_F_MAC were always set for qemu later. This will lead a zero config
len for virtio-net device when both VIRTIO_NET_F_STATUS and VIRTIO_NET_F_MQ were
disabled form command line. Then qemu will crash when user tries to read the
config of virtio-net.
Fix this by counting VIRTIO_NET_F_MAC and make sure the config at least contains
the mac address.

Multiqueue patchset conditionally add control vq only when guest negotiate the
feature. Though the spec is not clear on this but it breaks the minix guest
since it will identify the ctrl vq even if it does not support it. Though this
behavior seems a violation on the spec "If the VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_VQ feature bit
is negotiated, identify the control virtqueue.", to keep the backward
compatibility, always add the ctrl vq at end of the queues.
