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:

Cheers,
Rusty.

We do not allow old-style function definition. Always spell foo(void) if
a function does not take any parameters.

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)

Remove wrapper functions. This makes the allocation type explicit in
all callers; I used GPF_KERNEL where it seemed obvious, left it at
GFP_ATOMIC otherwise.

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
module.

This adds a test module for vhost infrastructure.
Intentionally not tied to kbuild to prevent people
