Old qemu versions required that 1st s/g entry is the header.
Since QEMU 1.5, patchset titled "virtio-net: iovec handling cleanup"
removed this limitation but a feature bit is needed so guests know it's
safe to lay out header differently.
This patch applies on top and adds such a feature bit to QEMU.
It is set by default for virtio-net.
virtio net header inline with the data is beneficial
for latency and small packet bandwidth - guest driver
code utilizing this feature has been acked but missed 3.11
by a narrow margin, it's pending for 3.12.
This feature bit is cleared by default when compatibility with old
machine types is requested.
Other performance-sensitive devices (blk and scsi)
don't yet support arbitrary s/g layouts, so
we only set this bit for virtio-net for now.
There are plans to allow arbitrary layouts there, but
no code has been posted yet.

Add virtio_device_set_child_bus_name function.
It will be used with virtio-serial-x and virtio-scsi-x to set the
child bus name before calling virtio-x-device's init.

into VirtioDeviceClass.

Many of these should be cleaned up with proper qdev-/QOM-ification.
Right now there are many catch-all headers in include/hw/ARCH depending
on cpu.h, and this makes it necessary to compile these files per-target.
However, fixing this does not belong in these patches.
