virtio network device multiqueue support reserves
vq 3 for future use (useful both for future extensions and to make it
pretty - this way receive vqs have even and transmit - odd numbers).
Make it possible to skip initialization for
specific vq numbers by specifying NULL for name.
Document this usage as well as (existing) NULL callback.
Drivers using this not coded up yet, so I simply tested
with virtio-pci and verified that this patch does
not break existing drivers.

Devices should depend on virtio, not select it. It's supposed to be
selected by the particular driver, e.g. VIRTIO_PCI.
Make balloon depend on VIRTIO and EXPERIMENTAL
(to match description).

virtio: introduce an API to set affinity for a virtqueue
Sometimes, virtio device need to configure irq affinity hint to maximize the
performance. Instead of just exposing the irq of a virtqueue, this patch
introduce an API to set the affinity for a virtqueue.
The api is best-effort, the affinity hint may not be set as expected due to
platform support, irq sharing or irq type. Currently, only pci method were
implemented and we set the affinity according to:
- if device uses INTX, we just ignore the request
- if device has per vq vector, we force the affinity hint
- if the virtqueues share MSI, make the affinity OR over all affinities
requested

virtio-ring: move queue_index to vring_virtqueue
Instead of storing the queue index in transport-specific virtio structs,
this patch moves them to vring_virtqueue and introduces an helper to get
the value. This lets drivers simplify their management and tracing of
virtqueues.

tools: Fix pthread flag for Makefile of trace-agent used by virtio-trace
pthread flag should not be -lpthread but -pthread using gcc. The -lpthread
links the external multithread library. On the other hand, the -pthread manages
both the gcc's preprocessor and linker to be able to compile with pthread.

PM / wakeup: Use irqsave/irqrestore for events_lock
Jon Medhurst (Tixy) recently noticed a problem with the
events_lock usage. One of the Android patches that uses
wakeup_sources calls wakeup_source_add() with irqs disabled.
However, the event_lock usage in wakeup_source_add() uses
spin_lock_irq()/spin_unlock_irq(), which reenables interrupts.
This results in lockdep warnings.
The fix is to use spin_lock_irqsave()/spin_lock_irqrestore()
instead for the events_lock.
