This was introduced in commit ed9ecb0415,
but only defined if !VIRTIO_NET_NO_LEGACY. We should always define
it: easier for users to have conditional legacy code.

In particular, the virtio header always has the u16 num_buffers field.
We define a new 'struct virtio_net_hdr_v1' for this (rather than
simply calling it 'struct virtio_net_hdr', to avoid nasty type errors
if some parts of a project define VIRTIO_NET_NO_LEGACY and some don't.
Transitional devices (which can't define VIRTIO_NET_NO_LEGACY) will
have to keep using struct virtio_net_hdr_mrg_rxbuf, which has the same
byte layout as struct virtio_net_hdr_v1.

Based on patches by Rusty Russell, Cornelia Huck.
Note: more code changes are needed for 1.0 support
(due to different header size).
So we don't advertize support for 1.0 yet.

Use the #define where appropriate.
Add #include <linux/if_ether.h>
where appropriate too.

For small packets we can simplify xmit processing
by linearizing buffers with the header:
most packets seem to have enough head room
we can use for this purpose.
Since existing hypervisors require that header
is the first s/g element, we need a feature bit
for this.

Programs using virtio headers outside of kernel will no longer
build because u16 type does not exist in userspace. All user ABI
must use __u16 typedef instead.

virtio_net: multiqueue support

Currently we write MAC address to pci config space byte by byte,
this means that we have an intermediate step where mac is wrong.
This patch introduced a new control command to set MAC address,
it's atomic.
VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_MAC_ADDR is a new feature bit for compatibility.

This patch adds the multiqueue (VIRTIO_NET_F_MQ) support to virtio_net
driver. VIRTIO_NET_F_MQ capable device could allow the driver to do packet
transmission and reception through multiple queue pairs and does the packet
steering to get better performance. By default, one one queue pair is used, user
could change the number of queue pairs by ethtool in the next patch.
When multiple queue pairs is used and the number of queue pairs is equal to the
number of vcpus. Driver does the following optimizations to implement per-cpu
virt queue pairs:
- select the txq based on the smp processor id.
- smp affinity hint to the cpu that owns the queue pairs.
This could be used with the flow steering support of the device to guarantee the
packets of a single flow is handled by the same cpu.
