The following series adds the ability for a hypervisor to set an MTU on the
guest during feature negotiation phase. This is useful for VM orchestration
when, for instance, tunneling is involved and the MTU of the various systems
should be homogenous.
The first patch adds the feature bit as described in the proposed VFIO spec
addition found at
https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/virtio-dev/201603/msg00001.html
The second patch adds a user of the bit, and a warning when the guest changes
the MTU from the hypervisor advised MTU. Future patches may add more thorough
error handling.

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.

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.

Here a trailing white space slipped-in.
Otherwise LGTM.
