virtio-pci: fix bus master work around on load

Commit c81131db15dd1844d0db1d51f3cd7a105cfd2cf3
detects old guests by comparing virtio and
PCI status. It attempts to do this on load,
as well, but load_config callback in a binding
is invoked too early and so the virtio status...

virtio-serial: Use a struct to pass config information from proxy

Instead of using a single variable to pass to the virtio_serial_init
function, use a struct so that expanding the number of variables to be
passed on later is easier.

vhost: force vhost off for non-MSI guests

When MSI is off, each interrupt needs to be bounced through the io
thread when it's set/cleared, so vhost-net causes more context switches and
higher CPU utilization than userspace virtio which handles networking in...

virtio-pci: Use ioeventfd for virtqueue notify

Virtqueue notify is currently handled synchronously in userspace virtio. This
prevents the vcpu from executing guest code while hardware emulation code
handles the notify.

On systems that support KVM, the ioeventfd mechanism can be used to make...

virtio: change set guest notifier to per-device

When using irqfd with vhost-net to inject interrupts,
a single evenfd might inject multiple interrupts.
Implementing this is much easier with a single
per-device callback to set guest notifiers.

virtio-net: Make tx_timer timeout configurable

Add an option to make the TX mitigation timer adjustable as a device

but may not be suitable for all workloads, this gives us a way to
adjust it using a single binary. We can't support any random option...
