[PATCH 0/45] Rework matching of network devices to -nic options



In 
https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20231019154020.99080-20-dwmw2@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/
I lamented that the default NIC creation seemed fairly hackish but "that
isn't a yak I want to shave today."

Yet here we are...

Most platforms iterating directly over the nd_table[] are doing one of 
two things. Either they are creating the NIC for their platform and want
to find a matching -nic configuration for it, if such exists. Or they
are only going to create that platform NIC if a matching config *does*
exist.

All of those can be converted to the new qemu_configure_nic_device()
and qemu_create_nic_device() functions. The latter of which will call
qdev_new() to create the device (and apply the config) if a matching
NIC config does exist for it. The existing behaviour of each platform
has been preserved for now, despite it being apparently fairly random.

PCI and indeed XenBus can use a qemu_create_nic_bus_devices() which will 
create all NICs that live on a given bus type. That covers most 
platforms, but some PCI platforms do something special with the first 
NIC of a given type, placing it in the slot where it would have been on 
the real hardware. There were various inconsistencies in the way the 
platforms did so, and whether they cared what model the NIC was. Those 
subtle behavioural changes I *have* allowed to change, and now the 
pci_init_nic_slot() function will pick the first NIC that the user 
specified which isn't explicitly *not* the default type, and put that
in  the specified slot.

The tests for npcm7xx used to lament that they had to instantiate both
NICs even when they wanted to test only the second, because there was
no way to specify which hardware devices gets which configuration. I
made that untrue, by allowing 'emc0' and 'emc1' aliases, and fixed up
the test accordingly.

There are one or two special cases which want to do special things with
the MAC address of the primary NIC, to set up a system identification
(or force it to use an Apple OUI, in the case of m68k/q400). All those
work out relatively cleanly too.

And I can ditch the two ugly patches which fixed up the Xen network
device handling, and replace them with a simple call to the new
qemu_create_nic_bus_devices() function.

I suspect that we can remove the pci_init_nic_devices() from platform
code and just do it later, except for platforms which *care* which
PCI bus the dynamic devices go on (is that just sun4u which puts its
primary NIC onto a different bus?).

Finally, while we're at it, clean up -nic model=help to only print
the device models which are actually usable on the given platform
rather than just listing them *all*.

And now we can make nd_table[] and nb_nics static in net/net.c because
nothing else has any business poking at them directly.
