This sample driver creates mdev device that simulate virtio net device

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
