Pull virtio update from Rusty Russell:
 "Some nice cleanups, and even a patch my wife did as a "live" demo for
  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."

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

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.

<title>virtio: harsher barriers for rpmsg.</title>

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.
