libvirt: Support vhost user in libvirt vif driver
QEMU has a new type of network interface, vhost-user, and we want to
make this available to Neutron drivers. This will support deploying
high-throughput userspace vswitches for OpenStack-based applications.
There are two types of vSwitches that can use vhost-user
interface, a generic vhost-user vSwitch and ovs based one, both types
should be supported.
