Xiao Wang 4bb531e152 net/ifc: support SW assisted VDPA live migration
In SW assisted live migration mode, driver will stop the device and
setup a mediated virtio ring to relay the communication between the
virtio driver and the VDPA device.

This data path intervention will allow SW to help on guest dirty page
logging for live migration.

This SW fallback is event driven relay thread, so when the network
throughput is low, this SW fallback will take little CPU resource, but
when the throughput goes up, the relay thread's CPU usage will goes up
accordingly.

User needs to take all the factors including CPU usage, guest perf
degradation, etc. into consideration when selecting the live migration
support mode.
