vDPA network devices allow high-performance networking in a virtual

The support for vDPA devices was recently added to qemu. This allows
libvirt to support these devices. This patchset requires that the device is
configured on the host with the appropriate vendor-specific driver. This will
create a chardev on the host at e.g. /dev/vhost-vdpa-0. That chardev path can
then be used to define a new interface with type=3D'vdpa'.
Changes in v4:
- rebased to latest master
- added hotplug support
- report vdpa devices in node device list

conf: Add support for vDPA network devices
qemu: add vhost-vdpa capability
qemu: add vdpa support
qemu: add monitor functions for handling file descriptors
qemu: support hotplug of vdpa devices
Include vdpa devices in node device list
You can re-use my ACKs for the previously posted patches (assuming an
ability to test IRL).
