Subject: [PATCH 2/3] virtio network device

This patch implements the backend support for the virtio network device. The
device is optimized for virtualized environments by limiting the number of
guest=>host transitions per-packet. In the best case, the number of
transitions per-packet is < 1.
With some further optimizations, I have been able to obtain 1.5gbit/sec
host=>guest with this driver (compared to the 90mbit/sec from the rtl8139
card). This requires additional patches not present in this series.
