Take vlan header length into account, when vlan id is stored as
vlan_tci. Otherwise tagged packets coming from macvtap will be
truncated.

The skb struct ubuf_info callback gets passed struct ubuf_info
itself, not the arg value as the field name and the function signature
seem to imply. Rename the arg field to ctx to match usage,
add documentation and change the callback argument type
to make usage clear and to have compiler check correctness.

By adding some module aliases, programs (or users) won't have to explicitly
call modprobe. Vhost-net will always be available if built into the kernel.
It does require assigning a permanent minor number for depmod to work.

Also:
  - use C99 style initialization.
  - add missing entry in documentation for loop-control

On backend change, we flushed out outstanding skbs
but forgot to update the used ring, so that
done entries were left in the ubuf_info ring.
As a result we lose heads or complete incorrect ones,
crashing the guest or leaking memory.
Fix by updating the used ring.

Move the used ring initialization after backend was set. This
makes it possible to disable the backend and tweak the used ring,
then restart. This will also make it possible to log the used ring
write correctly.

<title>vhost: vhost TX zero-copy support</title>

&gt;From: Shirley Ma &lt;mashirle@us.ibm.com&gt;

This adds experimental zero copy support in vhost-net,
disabled by default. To enable, set
experimental_zcopytx module option to 1.

This patch maintains the outstanding userspace buffers in the
sequence it is delivered to vhost. The outstanding userspace buffers
will be marked as done once the lower device buffers DMA has finished.
This is monitored through last reference of kfree_skb callback. Two
buffer indices are used for this purpose.

The vhost-net device passes the userspace buffers info to lower device
skb through message control. DMA done status check and guest
notification are handled by handle_tx: in the worst case is all buffers
in the vq are in pending/done status, so we need to notify guest to
release DMA done buffers first before we get any new buffers from the
vq.

One known problem is that if the guest stops submitting
buffers, buffers might never get used until some
further action, e.g. device reset. This does not
seem to affect linux guests.
