virtio: finer-grained features for virtio_net
So, we previously had a 'VIRTIO_NET_F_GSO' bit which meant that 'the host can handle csum offload, and any TSO (v4&v6 incl ECN) or UFO packets you might want to send. I thought this was good enough for Linux, but it actually isn't, since we don't do UFO in software. So, add separate feature bits for what the host can handle. Add equivalent ones for the guest to say what it can handle, because LRO is coming too (thanks Herbert!). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
