This brings us closer to Real Life, where we'd examine the device
features once it's set the DRIVER_OK status bit.

NR_CPUS (being a host number) is an arbitrary limit for the Guest.
Using the array size directly (which currently happes to be NR_CPUS)
is more futureproof.

A recent proposed feature addition to the virtio block driver revealed
some flaws in the API: in particular, we assume that feature
negotiation is complete once a driver's probe function returns.
There is nothing in the API to require this, however, and even I
didn't notice when it was violated.
So instead, we require the driver to specify what features it supports
in a table, we can then move the feature negotiation into the virtio
core. The intersection of device and driver features are presented in
a new 'features' bitmap in the struct virtio_device.
Note that this highlights the difference between Linux unsigned-long
bitmaps where each unsigned long is in native endian, and a
straight-forward little-endian array of bytes.
Drivers can still remove feature bits in their probe routine if they
really have to.
API changes:
- dev->config->feature() no longer gets and acks a feature.
- drivers should advertise their features in the 'feature_table' field
- use virtio_has_feature() for extra sanity when checking feature bits

A recent proposed feature addition to the virtio block driver revealed
some flaws in the API, in particular how easy it is to break big
endian machines.
The virtio config space was originally chosen to be little-endian,
because we thought the config might be part of the PCI config space
for virtio_pci. It's actually a separate mmio region, so that
argument holds little water; as only x86 is currently using the virtio
mechanism, we can change this (but must do so now, before the
impending s390 merge).
API changes:
- __virtio_config_val() just becomes a striaght vdev->config_get() call.

So, we previously had a 'VIRTIO_NET_F_GSO' bit which meant that 'the
host can handle csum offload, and any TSO (v4&v6 incl ECN) or UFO
packets you might want to send. I thought this was good enough for
Linux, but it actually isn't, since we don't do UFO in software.
So, add separate feature bits for what the host can handle. Add
equivalent ones for the guest to say what it can handle, because LRO
is coming too (thanks Herbert!).

Herbert tells me that returning NETDEV_TX_BUSY from hard_start_xmit is
seen as a poor thing to do; we should cache the packet and stop the queue.

Rusty,
is there a reason why we dont export the virtio headers for
9p, balloon, console, pci, and virtio_ring? kvm uses make sync,
but I think it is still useful to heave these headers exported
as they might be useful for other userspace tools.
I dont export virtio.h, because it does not seem to have useful
information for userspace and it requires scatterlist.h which is
also not exported. See also my other mail about your "virtio:
change config to guest endian." patch.

A corrupt virtqueue (caused by the other end screwing up) can have
strange results such as a driver spinning: just bail when we try to
