virtio_net: Add XDP support
This adds XDP support to virtio_net. Some requirements must be met for XDP to be enabled depending on the mode. First it will only be supported with LRO disabled so that data is not pushed across multiple buffers. Second the MTU must be less than a page size to avoid having to handle XDP across multiple pages. If mergeable receive is enabled this patch only supports the case where header and data are in the same buf which we can check when a packet is received by looking at num_buf. If the num_buf is greater than 1 and a XDP program is loaded the packet is dropped and a warning is thrown. When any_header_sg is set this does not happen and both header and data is put in a single buffer as expected so we check this when XDP programs are loaded. Subsequent patches will process the packet in a degraded mode to ensure connectivity and correctness is not lost even if backend pushes packets into multiple buffers. If big packets mode is enabled and MTU/LRO conditions above are met then XDP is allowed. This patch was tested with qemu with vhost=on and vhost=off where mergeable and big_packet modes were forced via hard coding feature negotiation. Multiple buffers per packet was forced via a small test patch to vhost.c in the vhost=on qemu mode.
