[PATCH] virtio_net: add link status handling

Mark McLoughlin
2008-12-09T10:21:18Z

Allow the host to inform us that the link is down by adding
a VIRTIO_NET_F_STATUS which indicates that device status is
available in virtio_net config.

This is currently useful for simulating link down conditions
(e.g. using proposed qemu 'set_link' monitor command) but
would also be needed if we were to support device assignment
via virtio.
