Verify if a host kick succeeded by checking return value of virtqueue_kick().

Currently a host kick error is silently ignored and not reflected in
the virtqueue of a particular virtio device.
Changing the notify API for guest->host notification seems to be one
prerequisite in order to be able to handle such errors in the context
where the kick is triggered.
This patch changes the notify API. The notify function must return a
bool return value. It returns false if the host notification failed.

virtio_scsi can really use this, to avoid the current hack of copying
the whole sg array. Some other things get slightly neater, too.
This causes a slowdown in virtqueue_add_buf(), which is implemented as
a wrapper. This is addressed in the next patches.

This is mainly to test the drivers/vhost/vringh.c code, but it also
uses the drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.c code for the guest side.
Usage for testing the basic implementation:
./vringh_test
# Test with indirect descriptors
./vringh_test --indirect
# Test with indirect descriptors and event indexex
./vringh_test --indirect --eventidx
You can run a parallel stress test by adding --parallel to any of the
above options.
eg ./vringh_test --parallel:
Using CPUS 0 and 3
Guest: notified 10107974, pinged 107970
Host: notified 108158, pinged 3172148
./vringh_test --indirect --eventidx --parallel:
Using CPUS 0 and 3
Guest: notified 156357, pinged 156251
Host: notified 156251, pinged 78179
Average of 50 times doing ./vringh_test --indirect --eventidx --parallel:

This makes them a bit more like the kernel headers, so we can include more
real kernel headers in our tests.
In addition this means that we don't break tools/virtio with the next
patch.

Latinoware 2012.
There's a slightly non-trivial merge in virtio-net, as we cleaned up the
virtio add_buf interface while DaveM accepted the mq virtio-net patches.
You can see my solution in my pending-rebases branch, if that helps, but I
know you love merging:

pthread flag should not be -lpthread but -pthread using gcc. The -lpthread
links the external multithread library. On the other hand, the -pthread manages
both the gcc's preprocessor and linker to be able to compile with pthread.

This patch adds a user tool, "trace agent" for sending trace data of a guest to
a Host in low overhead. This agent has the following functions:
- splice a page of ring-buffer to read_pipe without memory copying
- splice the page from write_pipe to virtio-console without memory copying
- write trace data to stdout by using -o option
- controlled by start/stop orders from a Host
Changes in v2:
- Cleanup (change fprintf() to pr_err() and an include guard)

We were cheating with our barriers; using the smp ones rather than the
real device ones. That was fine, until rpmsg came along, which is
used to talk to a real device (a non-SMP CPU).
Unfortunately, just putting back the real barriers (reverting
d57ed95d) causes a performance regression on virtio-pci. In
particular, Amos reports netbench's TCP_RR over virtio_net CPU
utilization increased up to 35% while throughput went down by up to
14%.
By comparison, this branch is in the noise.

This is the userspace part of the tool: it includes a bunch of stubs for
linux APIs, somewhat simular to linuxsched. This makes it possible to
recompile the ring code in userspace.
A small test example is implemented combining this with vhost_test
