This commit adds implementation of RX packets
coalescing, compatible with requirements of Windows
Hardware compatibility kit.

The device enables feature VIRTIO_NET_F_RSC_EXT in
host features if it supports extended RSC functionality
as defined in the specification.
This feature requires at least one of VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_TSO4,
VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_TSO6. Windows guest driver acks
this feature only if VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_GUEST_OFFLOADS
is also present.

If the guest driver acks VIRTIO_NET_F_RSC_EXT feature,
the device coalesces TCPv4 and TCPv6 packets (if
respective VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_TSO feature is on,
populates extended RSC information in virtio header
and sets VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_RSC_INFO bit in header flags.
The device does not recalculate checksums in the coalesced
packet, so they are not valid.

In this case:
All the data packets in a tcp connection are cached
to a single buffer in every receive interval, and will
be sent out via a timer, the 'virtio_net_rsc_timeout'
controls the interval, this value may impact the
performance and response time of tcp connection,
50000(50us) is an experience value to gain a performance
improvement, since the whql test sends packets every 100us,
so '300000(300us)' passes the test case, it is the default
value as well, tune it via the command line parameter
'rsc_interval' within 'virtio-net-pci' device, for example,
to launch a guest with interval set as '500000':

'virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet1,bus=pci.0,id=net1,mac=00,
guest_rsc_ext=on,rsc_interval=500000'

The timer will only be triggered if the packets pool is not empty,
and it'll drain off all the cached packets.

'NetRscChain' is used to save the segments of IPv4/6 in a
VirtIONet device.

A new segment becomes a 'Candidate' as well as it passed sanity check,
the main handler of TCP includes TCP window update, duplicated
ACK check and the real data coalescing.

An 'Candidate' segment means:
1. Segment is within current window and the sequence is the expected one.
2. 'ACK' of the segment is in the valid window.

Sanity check includes:
1. Incorrect version in IP header
2. An IP options or IP fragment
3. Not a TCP packet
4. Sanity size check to prevent buffer overflow attack.
5. An ECN packet

Even though, there might more cases should be considered such as
ip identification other flags, while it breaks the test because
windows set it to the same even it's not a fragment.

Normally it includes 2 typical ways to handle a TCP control flag,
'bypass' and 'finalize', 'bypass' means should be sent out directly,
while 'finalize' means the packets should also be bypassed, but this
should be done after search for the same connection packets in the
pool and drain all of them out, this is to avoid out of order fragment.

All the 'SYN' packets will be bypassed since this always begin a new'
connection, other flags such 'URG/FIN/RST/CWR/ECE' will trigger a
finalization, because this normally happens upon a connection is going
to be closed, an 'URG' packet also finalize current coalescing unit.

Statistics can be used to monitor the basic coalescing status, the
'out of order' and 'out of window' means how many retransmitting packets,
thus describe the performance intuitively.

Difference between ip v4 and v6 processing:
 Fragment length in ipv4 header includes itself, while it's not
 included for ipv6, thus means ipv6 can carry a real 65535 payload.

Note that main goal of implementing this feature in software
is to create reference setup for certification tests. In such
setups guest migration is not required, so the coalesced packets
not yet delivered to the guest will be lost in case of migration.

Whole FADT is fetched as part of RSDT referenced tables in

Currently in the 1st case we store table body fetched from QEMU in
AcpiSdtTable::aml minus it's header but in the 2nd case when we
load reference aml from disk, it holds whole blob including header.
More over in the 1st case, we read header in separate AcpiSdtTable::header
structure and then jump over hoops to fixup tables and combine both.

Treat AcpiSdtTable::aml as whole table blob approach in both cases
and when fetching tables from QEMU, first get table length and then
fetch whole table into AcpiSdtTable::aml instead if doing it field
by field.

As result
 * AcpiSdtTable::aml is used in consistent manner
 * FADT fixups use offsets from spec instead of being shifted by
   header length
 * calculating checksums and dumping blobs becomes simpler

Memset vhost_dev to zero in the vhost_dev_cleanup function.

This will result in a memory leak. But you can't release vqs
directly in the vhost_dev_cleanup function, because vhost_net
will also call this function, and vhost_net's vqs is assigned by array.
In order to solve this problem, we first save the pointer of vqs,

In msix_exclusive_bar the bar_pba_size is more than what the pba is
expected to have, although this never affects the bar size.

Specifically, the math in msix_init_exclusive_bar allocates too much
memory in some cases.

For example consider nentries = 8.  msix_exclusive_bar will give us
bar_pba_size = 16.  So 16 bytes.  However 8 bytes would be enough - this
is all that the spec requires.

So in practice bar_pba_size sometimes allocates an extra 8 bytes but
never more.

Since each MSIX entry size is 16 bytes, and since we make sure that
table+pba is a power of two, this always leaves a multiple of 16 bytes
for the PBA, so extra 8 bytes have no effect.

However, its ugly to have pba size temporary variable have an incorrect
value.  For consistency switch to the formula used in msix_init.

Some downstream distributions of QEMU set host-phys-bits=on by
default.  This worked very well for most use cases, because
phys-bits really didn't have huge consequences. The only
difference was on the CPUID data seen by guests, and on the
handling of reserved bits.

This changed in KVM commit 855feb673640 ("KVM: MMU: Add 5 level
EPT & Shadow page table support").  Now choosing a large
phys-bits value for a VM has bigger impact: it will make KVM use
5-level EPT even when it's not really necessary.  This means
using the host phys-bits value may not be the best choice.

Management software could address this problem by manually
configuring phys-bits depending on the size of the VM and the
amount of MMIO address space required for hotplug.  But this is
not trivial to implement.

However, there's another workaround that would work for most
cases: keep using the host phys-bits value, but only if it's
smaller than 48.  This patch makes this possible by introducing a
new "-cpu" option: "host-phys-bits-limit".  Management software
or users can make sure they will always use 4-level EPT using:
"host-phys-bits=on,host-phys-bits-limit=48".

This behavior is still not enabled by default because QEMU
doesn't enable host-phys-bits=on by default.  But users,
management software, or downstream distributions may choose to
change their defaults using the new option.

The xen-block dataplane currently allocates memory to hold the data for
each request as that request is used, and frees it afterwards. Because
it requires page-aligned blocks, this interacts poorly with non-page-
aligned allocations and balloons the heap.

Instead, allocate the maximum possible buffer size required for the
protocol, which is BLKIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_REQUEST (currently 11) pages
when the request structure is created, and keep that buffer until it is
destroyed. Since the requests are re-used via a free list, this should
actually improve memory usage.

If the I/O ring is full, the guest cannot send any more requests
until some responses are sent. Only sending all available responses
just before checking for new work does not leave much time for the
guest to supply new work, so this will cause stalls if the ring gets
full. Also, not completing reads as soon as possible adds latency
to the guest.

To alleviate that, complete IO requests as soon as they come back.
xen_block_send_response() already returns a value indicating whether
a notify should be sent, which is all the batching we need.

When I/O consists of many small requests, performance is improved by
batching them together in a single io_submit() call. When there are
relatively few requests, the extra overhead is not worth it. This
introduces a check to start batching I/O requests via blk_io_plug()/
blk_io_unplug() in an amount proportional to the number which were
already in flight at the time we started reading the ring.
