This sample driver creates mdev device that simulate virtio net device

directly as the IOVA. This should be sufficient for kernel virtio
driver to work.

Only 'virtio' type is supported right now. I plan to add 'vhost' type
on top which requires some virtual IOMMU implemented in this sample
driver.

I'd prefer it that we call this something else, e.g.
mvnet-loopback. Just so people don't expect a fully
functional device somehow. Can be renamed when applying?


Actually, I plan to extend it as another standard network interface for kernel. It could be either a standalone pseudo device or a stack device. Does this sounds good to you?

Thanks
