[RFC -next 1/2] virtio: Start the advised MTU feature support

[Aaron Conole]

This commit adds the feature bit and associated mtu device entry for the
virtio network device. Future commits will make use of these bits to support
negotiated MTU.

[RFC -next 2/2] virtio_net: Read and use the advised MTU

[Aaron Conole]

This patch checks the feature bit for the VIRTIO_NET_F_MTU feature. If it
exists, read the advised MTU and use it.

No proper error handling is provided for the case where a user changes the
negotiated MTU. A future commit will add proper error handling. Instead, a
warning is emitted if the guest changes the device MTU after previously being
given advice.

why don't:

if ((vi->negotiated_mtu == true) && (dev->mtu != new_mtu))

Here a trailing white space slipped-in.

Otherwise LGTM.
