Virtualization - Jul 2023 - [PATCH v1 0/2] vduse: add support for networking devices

This small series enables virtio-net device type in VDUSE.
With it, basic operation have been tested, both with
virtio-vdpa and vhost-vdpa using DPDK Vhost library series
adding VDUSE support using split rings layout (merged in
DPDK v23.07-rc1).

Control queue support (and so multiqueue) has also been
tested, but requires a Kernel series from Jason Wang
relaxing control queue polling [1] to function reliably.

This patch is preliminary work to enable network device
type support to VDUSE.

As VIRTIO_BLK_F_CONFIG_WCE shares the same value as
VIRTIO_NET_F_HOST_TSO4, we need to restrict its check
to Virtio-blk device type.

This patch adds Virtio-net device type to the supported
devices types. Initialization fails if the device does
not support VIRTIO_F_VERSION_1 feature, in order to
guarantee the configuration space is read-only.

Jason promised to post a new version of that patch.
Right Jason?
For now let's make sure CVQ feature flag is off?

So I can put this in next, the issue I think is
that of security: currently selinux can if necessary block
access to creating virtio block devices.
But if we have more than one type we need a way for selinux to
block specific types. Can be a patch on top but pls work to
address.

Another question is that with this userspace can inject
packets directly into net stack. Should we check CAP_NET_ADMIN
or such?
