53ac762e79 drivers/vhost: Optimize vhost-net performance and robustness
Suppress the peer notifications while a ring keeps delivering work, batch
the receive completions into one kick per burst and drop the redundant
txdone signal from the transmit path.  Validate the peer controlled frame
lengths, accept descriptor chains on both lanes, keep every ring access on
the upper half's work thread so the interrupt context callbacks stay lock
free, and prefer the MAC from the configuration space, falling back to the
Kconfig address or a random one.

fa935ecae1 drivers/vhost: Add vhost-net, a device-role virtio network driver.
Implements the device end of virtio-net, so a peer running the stock
virtio-net driver sees this side as a network card, and registers a netdev
lowerhalf.

Ring layout follows the peer's numbering: vq[0] is its RX queue, which we fill
to transmit, and vq[1] its TX queue, which we harvest.  No features are
negotiated, so every frame carries the zeroed legacy virtio_net_hdr.

Peer buffers are reached by raw 64-bit address through an arch-provided
translation window -- the AM67 RAT, identity mapping elsewhere -- splitting
copies that straddle it.

Also gives DRIVERS_VHOST a prompt; it was promptless and so unselectable
without a driver forcing it.

Verified on t3-gem-o1 against an unmodified Linux virtio_net: eth0 registers,
ifup brings it to RUNNING, and the peer pings it 5/5 at 0.27 ms and 60/60 with
0% loss.

2274c31950 drivers/vhost: add missing SCHED_WORKQUEUE dependency
The vhost driver uses work_queue() for deferred probe but was missing
the SCHED_WORKQUEUE Kconfig dependency, causing link errors on boards
that don't enable workqueue by default.

a286287f4e drivers/virtio and vhost: auto-select parent config from sub-drivers
Change DRIVERS_VIRTIO and DRIVERS_VHOST from menuconfig to hidden config
options. Each virtio/vhost sub-driver now automatically selects its parent
config, eliminating the need to manually enable DRIVERS_VIRTIO or
DRIVERS_VHOST in defconfig files.

This simplifies board configuration by removing redundant CONFIG_DRIVERS_VIRTIO
entries from affected defconfig files.

4ded8df3d5 virtio and vhost-rpmsg: add virtio and vhost rpmsg device support
virtio and vhost rpmsg device as standalone device registered to
the virtio and vhost bus.

virtio-rpmsg and vhost-rpmsg use the common virtio_rpmsg_common.c
implementation in rpmsg dir.

c42576e87b drivers/vhost-rng: add vhost rng driver support for NuttX
vhost-rng is a simple virtio device implementation, it receives
the buffer receviced from the virtio-rng driver and fill the random
number to this buffer and return to virtio-rng.

7afbcc1a62 drivers/vhost: add vhost framework for NuttX
virtio is a framework to implement the virtio drivers
vhost (Virtual Host) is a framework to implement the virtio devices
With the virtio and vhost framework, we can use the virtio drivers
and vhost drivers to implement the cross-core communication.
