From: David Woodhouse <dwmw@amazon.co.uk>
Most code which directly accesses nd_table[] and nb_nics uses them for
one of two things. Either "I have created a NIC device and I'd like a
configuration for it", or "I will create a NIC device *if* there is a
configuration for it". With some variants on the theme around whether
they actually *check* if the model specified in the configuration is
the right one.
Provide functions which perform both of those, allowing platforms to
be a little more consistent and as a step towards making nd_table[]
and nb_nics private to the net code.
Also export the qemu_find_nic_info() helper, as some platforms have
special cases they need to handle.
