similar to: [QEMU PATCH v3] virtio-net: introduce a new macaddr control

Old qemu versions required that 1st s/g entry is the header. My recent patchset titled "virtio-net: iovec handling cleanup" removed this limitation but a feature bit is needed so guests know it's safe to lay out header differently. This patch applies on top and adds such a feature bit. virtio net header inline with the data is beneficial for latency and small packet bandwidth.

Currently virtio-net code relys on the layout of descriptor, this patchset removed the assumptions and introduced a control command to set mac address. Last patch is a trivial renaming. V2: check guest's iov_len V3: fix of migration compatibility make mac field in config space read-only when new feature is acked V4: add fix of descriptor layout assumptions, trivial rename V5: fix

With virtio-1, we support more than 32 feature bits. Let's extend both host and guest features to 64, which should suffice for a while. vhost and migration have been ignored for now.

From: Amos Kong <akong at redhat.com> Virtio-net driver currently programs MAC address byte by byte, this means that we have an intermediate step where mac is wrong.
