Netmap/vale attempts to speed up network communication by bypassing the
TCP/IP network stack, which requires patching the physical NIC driver so
that applications developed based on netmap can interact directly with
the physical NIC driver. It may make sense for some specific scenarios
which requres very high bandwith (10Gb/s or 100Gb/s), we can even put up
with the complexity and compatibility introduced by this techology.
However for ACRN, a virtualization solution for IoT, there is no need to
support this backend. For 1Gb NICs or below, the VBS-U/tap solution
can already achieve near-native bandwidth. To keep simplicity and
improve compatibility, remove the netmap/vale support in dm.

currently, each virtio device has their own virtio_ops implementation.
Take virtio-blk for example:
static struct virtio_ops virtio_blk_ops = {
"virtio_blk",
1,
sizeof(struct virtio_blk_config),
virtio_blk_reset,
virtio_blk_notify,
virtio_blk_cfgread,
virtio_blk_cfgwrite,
NULL,
NULL,
VIRTIO_BLK_S_HOSTCAPS,
};
If start DM with two virtio-blk, this global variable will be
assigined to two virtio-blk instances. Changing hv_caps for one
instance will affect others. But different instances may need
different capabilities.
To support this requirement, we suggest to move hv_caps to
virtio_base structure, and each instance can return their own
capabilities.

We should keep variable name in function declaration. It makes
things clearer and easier to be understood.

Following functions have never been used anywhere.
Let's remove them.
fbsdrun_muxed()
fbsdrun_vmexit_on_hlt()
fbsdrun_vmexit_on_pause()
fbsdrun_disable_x2apic()
Remove weird prefix "fbsdrun" from following functions' name.
fbsdrun_virtio_msix() --> virtio_uses_msix()
fbsdrun_start_thread() --> start_thread()

If guest doesn't initialize the net device, the tx thread will
block at the first tx_cond wait. When virtio_net_tx_stop is
invoked, the tx_thread will block on second tx_cond then.
Check whether we should exit tx_thread after first tx_cond
waiting

When doing warm reboot, the mevent module will not be deinitialized.
We need to delete all mevent registered while deinit virutal device.
