Rather than faking up some geometry, allow the backend to push the disk geometry via virtio pci config option. Keep the old geo code around for compatibility.

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 Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

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. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

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!). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

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. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Acked-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

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.
