f96fde41f7 virtio: rename virtqueue_add_buf_gfp to virtqueue_add_buf
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.

7b21e34fd1 virtio: harsher barriers for rpmsg.
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.

4e53f78e5b tools/virtio: virtio_test tool
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.

71ccc212e5 vhost test module
This adds a test module for vhost infrastructure.
Intentionally not tied to kbuild to prevent people
from installing and loading it accidentally.
