This series of patches adds vhost-user support to passt
and then allows passt to connect to QEMU network backend using
virtqueue rather than a socket.

With QEMU, rather than using to connect:

  -netdev stream,id=s,server=off,addr.type=unix,addr.path=/tmp/passt_1.socket

we will use:

  -chardev socket,id=chr0,path=/tmp/passt_1.socket
  -netdev vhost-user,id=netdev0,chardev=chr0
  -device virtio-net,netdev=netdev0
  -object memory-backend-memfd,id=memfd0,share=on,size=$RAMSIZE
  -numa node,memdev=memfd0

The memory backend is needed to share data between passt and QEMU.

Performance comparison between "-netdev stream" and "-netdev vhost-user":

v2:
  - remove PATCH 4
  - rewrite PATCH 2 and 3 to follow passt coding style
  - move some code from PATCH 3 to PATCH 4 (previously PATCH 5)
  - partially addressed David's comment on PATCH 5
