1241ed94c3 vhost: Pass device path to vhost_dev_init()
The path to /dev/vhost-net is currently hardcoded in vhost_dev_init().
This needs to be changed so that /dev/vhost-scsi can be used.  Pass in
the device path instead of hardcoding it.

2817b260e3 vhost: avoid cpu_get_physical_page_desc()
This reaches into the innards of the memory core, which are being
changed.  Switch to a memory API version.

04097f7c59 vhost: convert to MemoryListener API
Drop the use of cpu_register_phys_memory_client() in favour of the new
MemoryListener API.  The new API simplifies the caller, since there is no
need to deal with splitting and merging slots; however this is not exploited
in this patch.

b0b3db7955 vhost-net: cleanup host notifiers at last step
When the vhost notifier is disabled, the userspace handler runs
immediately: virtio_pci_set_host_notifier_internal might
call virtio_queue_notify_vq.
Since the VQ state and the tap backend state aren't
recovered yet, this causes
"Guest moved used index from XXX to YYY" assertions.

The solution is to split out host notifier handling
from vhost VQ setup and disable notifiers as our last step
when we stop vhost-net. For symmetry enable them first thing
on start.

5430a28fe4 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
the same thread.

We'll need to fix this by adding level irq support in kvm irqfd,
for now disable vhost-net in these configurations.

Added a vhostforce flag to force vhost-net back on.

d59700553e vhost: vhost net support
This adds vhost net device support in qemu. Will be tied to tap device
and virtio by following patches.  Raw backend is currently missing,
will be worked on/submitted separately.
