The mmsghdr struct is only introduced in Linux 2.6.32; add a
configure check for it and disable L2TPV3 on hosts which are
too old to provide it, rather than simply failing to compile.

[PMM: cleaned up commit message and corrected kernel version number]

This transport allows to connect a QEMU nic to a static Ethernet
over L2TPv3 tunnel. The transport supports all options present
in the Linux kernel implementation. It allows QEMU to connect
to any Linux host running kernel 3.3+, most routers and network
devices as well as other QEMU instances.

Add a new QEMU netdev backend that is intended to invoke vhost_net with the
vhost-user backend. It uses an Unix socket chardev to establish a
communication with the 'slave' (client and server mode supported).

At runtime the netdev will handle OPEN/CLOSE events from the chardev. Upon
disconnection it will set link_down accordingly and notify virtio-net; the
virtio-net interface will go down.

This patch adds support for a network backend based on netmap.
netmap is a framework for high speed packet I/O. You can use it
to build extremely fast traffic generators, monitors, software
switches or network middleboxes. Its companion software switch
VALE lets you interconnect virtual machines.
netmap and VALE are implemented as a non-intrusive kernel module,
support NICs from multiple vendors, are part of standard FreeBSD
distributions and available in source format for Linux too.

To compile QEMU with netmap support, use the following configure
options:
    ./configure [...] --enable-netmap --extra-cflags=-I/path/to/netmap/sys
where "/path/to/netmap" contains the netmap source code, available at
    http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/netmap/

The same webpage contains more information about the netmap project
(together with papers and presentations).

The vlan feature can be implemented in terms of hubs.  By introducing a
hub net client it becomes possible to remove the special case vlan code
from net.c and push the vlan feature out of generic networking code.
