vhost_net

These patches have been sitting in Rusty's tree and linux-next for a couple of kernel releases already, they are largely unchanged since November, besides a couple of bugfixes. They got Rusty's blessing, and I'd like them to go into net-next-2.6 and then 2.6.34.

The patchset is aganst net-next-2.6, commit 508e14b4a4fb1a824a14f2c5b8d7df67b313f8e4.

Thanks!
