Stefan Hajnoczi 4e68f7a081 net: Rename VLANClientState to NetClientState
The vlan feature is no longer part of net core.  Rename VLANClientState
to NetClientState because net clients are not explicitly associated with
a vlan at all, instead they have a peer net client to which they are
connected.

This patch is a mechanical search-and-replace except for a few
whitespace fixups where changing VLANClientState to NetClientState
misaligned whitespace.

mst@redhat.com 5430a28fe4 vhost: force vhost off for non-MSI guests
When MSI is off, each interrupt needs to be bounced through the io
thread when it's set/cleared, so vhost-net causes more context switches and
higher CPU utilization than userspace virtio which handles networking in
the same thread.

We'll need to fix this by adding level irq support in kvm irqfd,
for now disable vhost-net in these configurations.

Added a vhostforce flag to force vhost-net back on.

Michael S. Tsirkin d59700553e vhost: vhost net support
This adds vhost net device support in qemu. Will be tied to tap device
and virtio by following patches.  Raw backend is currently missing,
will be worked on/submitted separately.
