Recently, linux support multiqueue tap which could let userspace call TUNSETIFF
for a signle device many times to create multiple file descriptors as
independent queues. User could also enable/disabe a specific queue through
TUNSETQUEUE.
The patch adds the generic infrastructure to create multiqueue taps. To achieve
this a new parameter "queues" were introduced to specify how many queues were
expected to be created for tap by qemu itself. Alternatively, management could
also pass multiple pre-created tap file descriptors separated with ':' through a
new parameter fds like -netdev tap,id=hn0,fds="X:Y:..:Z". Multiple vhost file
descriptors could also be passed in this way.
Each TAPState were still associated to a tap fd, which mean multiple TAPStates
were created when user needs multiqueue taps. Since each TAPState contains one
NetClientState, with the multiqueue nic support, an N peers of NetClientState
were built up.
A new parameter, mq_required were introduce in tap_open() to create multiqueue
tap fds.

This patch introduces a helper tap_get_ifname() to get the device name of tap
device. This is needed when ifname is unspecified in the command line and qemu
were asked to create tap device by itself. In this situation, the name were
allocated by kernel, so if multiqueue is asked, we need to fetch its name after
creating the first queue.
Only linux has this support since it's the only platform that supports
multiqueue tap.

This patch add basic multiqueue support for Linux. When multiqueue is needed, we
will first check whether kernel support multiqueue tap before creating more
queues. Two new functions tap_fd_enable() and tap_fd_disable() were introduced
to enable and disable a specific queue. Since the multiqueue is only supported
in Linux, return error on other platforms.

Move public headers to include/net, and leave private headers in net/.
Put the virtio headers in include/net/tap.h, removing the multiple copies
that existed. Leave include/net/tap.h as the interface for NICs, and
net/tap_int.h as the interface for OS-specific parts of the tap backend.

<libutil.h> and <util.h> on *BSD (some have one, some another)
were #included just for openpty() declaration. The only file
where this function is actually used is qemu-char.c.
In vl.c and net/tap-bsd.c, none of functions declared in libutil.h
(login logout logwtmp timdomain openpty forkpty uu_lock realhostname
fparseln and a few others depending on version) are used.
Initially the code which is currently in qemu-char.c was in vl.c,
it has been removed into separate file in commit 0e82f34d07
Fri Oct 31 18:44:40 2008, but the #includes were left in vl.c.
So with vl.c, we just remove includes - libutil.h, util.h and
pty.h (which declares only openpty() and forkpty()) from there.
The code in net/tap-bsd.c, which come from net/tap.c, had this

net: split all the tap code out into net/tap.c
Note this commit not only moved stuff out of net.c to net/tap.c,
but also rewrote large portions of the tap code, and added these
completely unnecessary #includes -- as usual, I question why such
a misleading commit messages are allowed.
Again, no functions defined in libutil.h or util.h on *BSD are
used by neither net/tap.c nor net/tap-bsd.c. Removing them.
And finally, the only real user for these #includes, qemu-char.c,
which actually uses openpty(). There, the #ifdef logic is wrong.
A GLIBC-based system has <pty.h>, even if it is a variant of *BSD.
So __GLIBC__ should be checked first, and instead of trying to
include <libutil.h> or <util.h>, we include <pty.h>. If it is not
GLIBC-based, we check for variations between <*util.h> as before.
This patch fixes build of qemu 1.1 on Debian/kFreebsd (well, one
of the two problems): it is a distribution with a FreeBSD kernel,
so it #defines at least __FreeBSD_kernel__, but since it is based
on GLIBC, it has <pty.h>, but current version does not have neither
<util.h> nor <libutil.h>, which the code tries to include 3 times
but uses only once.

error_report() terminates the message with a newline. Strip it it
from its arguments.
This fixes a few error messages lacking a newline:
net_handle_fd_param()'s "No file descriptor named %s found", and
tap_open()'s "vnet_hdr=1 requested, but no kernel support for
IFF_VNET_HDR available" (all three versions).
There's one place that passes arguments without newlines
intentionally: load_vmstate(). Fix it up.
Handle ifname on FreeBSD hosts; if no ifname is given, always start
the search from tap0. (Simplified/cleaned up version of what has been
in the FreeBSD ports for a long time.)

Currently compiling the tap sources breaks on Mac OS X. This is because of:
1) tap-linux.h requiring Linux includes
2) typos
3) missing #includes
This patch adds what's necessary to compile tap happily on Mac OS X.
I haven't tested if using tap actually works, but I don't think that's a
major issue as that code was probably seriously untested before already.
I didn't split the patch, because it's only a few lines of code and
splitting is probably not worth the effort here.
