Net driver using virtio
The network driver uses two virtqueues: one for input packets and one for output packets. This has nice locking properties (ie. we don't do any for recv vs send). TODO: 1) Big packets. 2) Multi-client devices (maybe separate driver?). 3) Resolve freeing of old xmit skbs (Christian Borntraeger) Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Cc: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Cc: netdev@vger.kernel.org
