This patch set prepares for supporting af-xdp zerocopy.
There is no feature change in this patch set.
I just want to reduce the patch num of the final patch set,
so I split the patch set.

#1-#3 add independent directory for virtio-net
#4-#7 do some refactor, the sub-functions will be used by the subsequent commits

Thanks.

v1:
    1. resend for the new net-next merge window

What I said at the time is

	I am fine adding xsk in a new file or just adding in same file working on a split later.

Given this was a year ago and all we keep seing is "prepare" patches,
I am inclined to say do it in the reverse order: add
af-xdp first then do the split when it's clear there is not
a lot of code sharing going on.

If all is done in one patch set, maybe is ok. But we have about 14 commits for
af-xdp. If that patch set includes these commits, then we will exceed 15
(net-next limits the commit number of one patch set).

I separated these patches from the final patch set because I think these commits
can exist independently even without af-xdp.

Whether the final xsk should use a separate file, we can look at it in future
patches. If you think we can merge it into one file, I am also OK with it.
Although other drivers currently use separate files.

So if you think this patch set itself is fine, then I hope we can merge this
first.

Thanks.
