Hi Michael,
Some random high-level comments:
- I had expected this to be available as:
-net raw,ifname=eth2 -net nic,model=virtio
I'd prefer it this way, because it means you can use this mode even
without vhost and it's ties in better with the way all other qemu

Note this code is posted very much just so that people can test vhost,
not really for merging, but thanks for review!

This adds support for vhost-net virtio kernel backend.
To enable (assuming device eth2):
1. enable promisc mode or program guest mac in device eth2

3. add vhost=eth2
