Currently virtio_blk assumes a 512 byte hard sector size. This can cause
trouble / performance issues if the backing has a different block size
(like a file on an ext3 file system formatted with 4k block size or a dasd).

Lets add a feature flag that tells the guest to use a different hard sector
size than 512 byte.

We force notification when the ring is full, even if the host has
indicated it doesn't want to know.  This seemed like a good idea at
the time: if we fill the transmit ring, we should tell the host
immediately.

Unfortunately this logic also applies to the receiving ring, which is
refilled constantly.  We should introduce real notification thesholds
to replace this logic.  Meanwhile, removing the logic altogether breaks
the heuristics which KVM uses, so we use a hack: only notify if there are
outgoing parts of the new buffer.

Here are the number of exits with lguest's crappy network implementation:
Before:
	network xmit 7859051 recv 236420
After:
	network xmit 7858610 recv 118136

If we hack the virtio_net driver to always allocate full-sized (64k+)
skbuffs, the driver slows down (lguest numbers):

  Time to receive 1GB (small buffers): 10.85 seconds
  Time to receive 1GB (64k+ buffers): 24.75 seconds

Of course, large buffers use up more space in the ring, so we increase
that from 128 to 2048:

  Time to receive 1GB (64k+ buffers, 2k ring): 16.61 seconds

If we recycle pages rather than using alloc_page/free_page:

  Time to receive 1GB (64k+ buffers, 2k ring, recycle pages): 10.81 seconds

This demonstrates that with efficient allocation, we don't need to
have a separate "small buffer" queue.

Finally this patch lets virtio_net receive GSO packets in addition
to sending them.  This can definitely be optimised for the non-GSO
case.  For comparison the Xen approach stores one page in each skb
and uses subsequent skb's pages to construct an SG skb instead of
preallocating the maximum amount of pages per skb.

This patch adds some basic ethtool operations to virtio_net so
I could test SG without GSO (which was really useful because TSO
turned out to be buggy :)

With this, may drop an skb and then later in the function discover that
we could have sent it after all. Poor wee skb :)

How about the incremental patch below?

Subject: [PATCH] virtio_net: Delay dropping tx skbs

Currently we drop the skb in start_xmit() if we have a
queued buffer and fail to transmit it.

However, if we delay dropping it until we've stopped the
queue and enabled the tx notification callback, then there
is a chance space might become available for it.
