This commit adds the feature bit and associated mtu device entry for the
virtio network device.  When a virtio device comes up, it checks the
feature bit for the VIRTIO_NET_F_MTU feature.  If such feature bit is
enabled, the driver will read the advised MTU and use it as the initial
value.

* Fixed omitted hunk from virtio_net.h

One comment though: I think we should validate the mtu.
If it's invalid, clear VIRTIO_NET_F_MTU and ignore.
