virtio_net: Make virtio_net support carrier detection
Impact: Make NetworkManager work with virtio_net For now the semantics are simple: There is always carrier. This allows a seamless experience with e.g., qemu/kvm where NetworkManager just configures and sets up everything automagically. If/when a generally agreed-upon way to control carrier on/off in the emulator/hypervisor level emerges, it will be trivial to extend the driver to support that too, but for now even this 2-liner makes user experience that much better.
