virtio-net: Introduce a new bottom half packet TX
Based on a patch from Mark McLoughlin, this patch introduces a newbottom half packet transmitter that avoids the latency imposed bythe tx_timer approach. Rather than scheduling a timer when a TXpacket comes in, schedule a bottom half to be run from the iothread....
virtio-net: Limit number of packets sent per TX flush
If virtio_net_flush_tx() is called with notification disabled, we canrace with the guest, processing packets at the same rate as theyget produced. The trouble is that this means we have no guaranteed...
virtio-net: Make tx_timer timeout configurable
Add an option to make the TX mitigation timer adjustable as a deviceoption. The 150us hard coded default used currently is reasonable,but may not be suitable for all workloads, this gives us a way toadjust it using a single binary. We can't support any random option...
virtio: add set_status callback
vhost net backend needs to be notified whenfrontend status changes. Add a callback,similar to set_features.

virtio: rename features -> guest_features
Rename features->guest_features. This iswhat they are, avoid confusion withhost features which we also need to keep around.
virtio: add features as qdev properties
Add feature bits as properties to virtio. This makes it possible to e.g. definemachine without indirect buffer support, which is required for 0.10compatibility, or without hardware checksum support, which is required for 0.11...
virtio: verify features on load
migrating between hosts which have different featuresmight break silently, if the migration destinationdoes not support some features supported by source.
Prevent this from happening by comparing acked featurebits with the mask supported by the device....
virtio: use qdev properties for configuration.

Revert "Get rid of _t suffix"
In the very least, a change like this requires discussion on the list.
The naming convention is goofy and it causes a massive merge problem. Somethinglike this must be presented on the list first so people can provide input...
Get rid of _t suffix
Some not so obvious bits, slirp and Xen were left alone for the timebeing.

qdev: add return value to init() callbacks.
Sorry folks, but it has to be. One more of these invasive qdev patches.
We have a serious design bug in the qdev interface: device initcallbacks can't signal failure because the init() callback has noreturn value. This patch fixes it....

Revert "Introduce reset notifier order"
This reverts commit 8217606e6edb49591b4a6fd5a0d1229cebe470a9 (andupdates later added users of qemu_register_reset), we solved theproblem it originally addressed less invasively.

qemu/virtio: virtio support for many interrupt vectors
Extend virtio to support many interrupt vectors, and rearrange code inpreparation for multi-vector support (mostly move reset out to bindings,because we will have to reset the vectors in transport-specific code)....
Remove io_index argument from cpu_register_io_memory()
The parameter is always zero except when registering the three internalio regions (ROM, unassigned, notdirty). Remove the parameter to reducethe API's power, thus facilitating future change.
