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.
