This series introduces a new VDUSE message for VDUSE userland instance
to detect when a VirtQueue (VQ) is enabled, replacing the polling.
VirtIO net devices' dataplane is started after the control virtqueue so
QEMU can apply the configuration in the destination of a Live Migration.
Without this feature, the VDUSE instance must poll the VQs to check when
(and if) a VQ has been enabled.
This series also implements VDUSE feature flags allowing the VDUSE
devices to opt-in to the VQ ready message. Devices that opt-in to this
feature will receive explicit notifications when a VQ is ready. Devices
that do not set this flag remain unaffected, ensuring backward
compatibility without indefinitely incrementing API versions.
The VDUSE features is a 64 bit bitmap for simplicity, the same way as
vhost and vhost-net started. It can be extended as a flexible array of
bits when we reach so many features, but it seems unlikely at this
point.
Error cases tested:
* Call VDUSE_GET_FEATURES without get the API VERSION (so API == 0) and
with API VERSION set to 1 with VDUSE_SET_API_VERSION (-EINVAL returned
from VDUSE_GET_FEATURES ioctl).
* Try to create a device with config->features different than 0 without
fetch the api version (so API == 0) and with API_VERSION set to 1
(-EINVAL returned from VDUSE_CREATE_DEV ioctl).
* Test regular initialization of single queue devices with V2 with and
without VDUSE_F_QUEUE_READY set in device->config.
* Test expected behavior when VDUSE userland instance returns
VDUSE_REQ_RESULT_FAILED from VDUSE_SET_VQ_READY message.
* Repeat all the tests with multiqueue devices, by reverting
56e71885b0349 ("vduse: Temporarily fail if control queue feature requested").
This series depends on

v2:
* Fix comment of vduse_dev_request.vq_ready
* Set vq_ready before sending the message to the VDUSE userland
instance, avoiding the need for SMP sync after receiving the message.
* Return -EINVAL if control ioctl called with version < 2, so userland
visible reply is kept (Jason).
Eugenio Pérez (5):
vduse: store control device pointer
vduse: Add API v2 definition
vduse: add VDUSE_GET_FEATURES ioctl
vduse: advertise API V2 support
vduse: add F_QUEUE_READY feature
