vhost_dev_init will replace devfd and devpath with a single opaque argument.
This is initialised with a file descriptor. When TAP is used (through
vhost_net), open /dev/vhost-net and pass the fd as an opaque parameter in
VhostNetOptions. The same applies to vhost-scsi - open /dev/vhost-scsi and
pass the fd.

vhost: Add vhost_commit callback for SeaBIOS ROM region re-mapping

This patch follows MST's recommendation to move checks for
vhost_verify_ring_mappings() -> cpu_physical_memory_map() operations
from MemoryListener->region_[add,del]() -> vhost_set_memory() into
final MemoryListener->commit() -> vhost_commit() callback.

It addresses the case where virtio-scsi vq ioport RAM re-mapping
to read-only SeaBIOS ROM triggers a cpu_physical_memory_map()
NIL MemoryRegionSection pointer failure.

Also save vhost_dev->mem_changed_[start,end]_addr values in
vhost_set_memory() for final ranges_overlap checks. (Thanks Paolo!)

Many of these should be cleaned up with proper qdev-/QOM-ification.
Right now there are many catch-all headers in include/hw/ARCH depending

vhost: multiqueue support

This patch lets vhost support multiqueue. The idea is simple, just launching
multiple threads of vhost and let each of vhost thread processing a subset of
the virtqueues of the device. After this change each emulated device can have
multiple vhost threads as its backend.

To do this, a virtqueue index were introduced to record to first virtqueue that
will be handled by this vhost_net device. Based on this and nvqs, vhost could
calculate its relative index to setup vhost_net device.

Since we may have many vhost/net devices for a virtio-net device. The setting of
guest notifiers were moved out of the starting/stopping of a specific vhost
thread. The vhost_net_{start|stop}() were renamed to
vhost_net_{start|stop}_one(), and a new vhost_net_{start|stop}() were introduced
to configure the guest notifiers and start/stop all vhost/vhost_net devices.

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.

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.
