Re: [RFC PATCH 00/10] VirtioNet RSS support

This series of patches add RSS property support for virtio-net-pci. Virtio RSS effectively works with TAP devices, it requires additional vectors for VirtioNet, queues for TAP device, and vCPU cores. Example of device configuration: ``` <interface type="network"> <mac address="52:54:00:c4:90:25"/> <source network="default"/> <model type="virtio"/> <driver name="qemu" queues="9" rss="on" rss_hash_report="off"/> <address type="pci" domain="0x0000" bus="0x01" slot="0x00" function="0x0"/> </interface> ``` Capability "rss" enables RSS, "rss_hash_report" - enables hashes in vheader. Qemu uses eBPF program as RSS driver. For loading RSS eBPF program, the helper is used. Path to the helper is provided by Qemu through "query-helper-paths" qmp command. The helper "qemu-ebpf-rss-helper" is built with Qemu and may differ from build to build. So it's required that the Qemu should provide a proper helper path. Libvirt would call the helper and receive the program and map fd through unix socket. Fds would be passed to Qemu in "ebpf_rss_fds" property by passing to child process or unix socket. If libvirt would fail at helper call or Qemu didn't provide the path, the Qemu would be launched without "ebpf_rss_fds" property. Without "ebpf_rss_fds" property, Qemu would try to load eBPF program by itself - usually, it would require additional system permissions. Qemu may use "in-qemu" RSS as a fallback option, which will not require system permissions, but doesn't work with vhost TAP.
