Subject: [PATCH 06/16] virtio-net: add feature bit for any header s/g

O-Subject: [PATCH qemu-kvm RHEL7.0] virtio-net: add feature bit for any header s/g
Bugzilla: 990989
RH-Acked-by: Xiao Wang <jasowang@redhat.com>

Old qemu versions required that 1st s/g entry is the header.

Since QEMU 1.5, 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 to QEMU.
It is set by default for virtio-net.
virtio net header inline with the data is beneficial
for latency and small packet bandwidth - guest driver
code utilizing this feature has been acked but missed 3.11
by a narrow margin, it's pending for 3.12.

This feature bit is cleared by default when compatibility with old
machine types is requested.

Other performance-sensitive devices (blk and scsi)
don't yet support arbitrary s/g layouts, so
we only set this bit for virtio-net for now.
There are plans to allow arbitrary layouts there, but
no code has been posted yet.

Oops, the patch got lost somehow.
I was sure our last rebase included it but no ...
Pls review ASAP and we'll discuss setting blocker for this one
separately.

Impossible to fix in zstream since it would affect
migration.
