vhost-net: preview

Here's an untested patchset with vhost support for upstream qemu. Note that you should not expect performance gains from vhost unless in-kernel irqchip is enabled (which is not in upstream qemu now). Since adding vhost involves quite a bit of infrastructure, I thought it makes sense to send an RFC already, so that interested parties can review it. In particular, command line and help text need to be finalized early to so that management can start looking on supporting the feature. This patch has all bits besides migration filled in. Also missing is packet socket
backend: another team is now working on this.
