This commit adds support for datagrams over virtio/vsock.

Message boundaries are preserved on a per-skb and per-vq entry basis.
Messages are copied in whole from the user to an SKB, which in turn is
added to the scatterlist for the virtqueue in whole for the device.
Messages do not straddle skbs and they do not straddle packets.
Messages may be truncated by the receiving user if their buffer is
shorter than the message.

Other properties of vsock datagrams:
- Datagrams self-throttle at the per-socket sk_sndbuf threshold.
- The same virtqueue is used as is used for streams and seqpacket flows
- Credits are not used for datagrams
- Packets are dropped silently by the device, which means the virtqueue
will still get kicked even during high packet loss, so long as the
socket does not exceed sk_sndbuf.

Future work might include finding a way to reduce the virtqueue kick
rate for datagram flows with high packet loss.

I would split this patch in 2, one with the changes in af_vsock.c,
of for the virtio changes.

Maybe we can pass errp also to virtio_vsock_alloc_skb.


The rest LGTM.

Anyway, the implementation seems to work well, so I think now we should
discuss the virtio-spec changes, that with this approach should be
not big, right?

Thanks,
