vhost: add flag for built-in virtio driver
The librte_vhost API is used in two ways:
1. As a vhost net device backend via rte_vhost_enqueue/dequeue_burst().
2. As a library for implementing vhost device backends.
There is no distinction between the two at the API level or in the
librte_vhost implementation. For example, device state is kept in
"struct virtio_net" regardless of whether this is actually a net device
backend or whether the built-in virtio_net.c driver is in use.
The virtio_net.c driver should be a librte_vhost API client just like
the vhost-scsi code and have no special access to vhost.h internals.
Unfortunately, fixing this requires significant librte_vhost API
changes.
This patch takes a different approach: keep the librte_vhost API
unchanged but track whether the built-in virtio_net.c driver is in use.
See the next patch for a bug fix that requires knowledge of whether
virtio_net.c is in use.
