Thanks Anthony.  So before I patch bomb again, I think this turns into
something like below.  This makes the struct definitions less useful on
the backend side, but I'm not sure we can do anything about that.  I
assume for u16s and u32s used in other parts of the interface, we'll
define those as little endian, which means the guest side driver
eventually needs a follow-up patch for big endian archs.  Thanks,

Alex


qemu:virtio-net: Add a virtqueue for control commands from the guest

This will be used for RX mode, MAC table, VLAN table control, etc...

The control transaction consists of one or more "out" sg entries and
one or more "in" sg entries.  The first out entry contains a header
defining the class and command.  Additional out entries may provide
data for the command.  A response via the ack entry is required
and the guest will typically be waiting for it.
