The method ndo_start_xmit() is defined as returning an 'netdev_tx_t',
which is a typedef for an enum type, but the implementation in this
driver returns an 'int'.

Fix this by returning 'netdev_tx_t' in this driver too.

<title>treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help'</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a7f7f6248d9740d710fd6bd190293fe5e16410ac</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over
'---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually
decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances.

This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines,
I also fixed the indentation.

There are a variety of indentation styles found.

  a) 4 spaces + '---help---'
  b) 7 spaces + '---help---'
  c) 8 spaces + '---help---'
  d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---'
  e) 1 tab + '---help---'    (correct indentation)
  f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---'
  g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---'

In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the
following commend:

  $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/'

This reverts commit d085eb8ce727 ("vhost: disable for OABI")
With commit "virtio: force spec specified alignment on types"
in place, we force proper alignment for all structures,
so there's no longer a reason to blacklist OABI.

There are two text files for caif, plus one already converted
file.

Convert the two remaining ones to ReST, create a new index.rst
file for CAIF, adding it to the main networking documentation
index.

vhost is currently broken on the some ARM configs.

The reason is that the ring element addresses are passed between
components with different alignments assumptions. Thus, if
guest selects a pointer and host then gets and dereferences
it, then alignment assumed by the host's compiler might be
greater than the actual alignment of the pointer.
compiler on the host from assuming pointer is aligned.

This actually triggers on ARM with -mabi=apcs-gnu - which is a
deprecated configuration. With this OABI, compiler assumes that
all structures are 4 byte aligned - which is stronger than
virtio guarantees for available and used rings, which are
merely 2 bytes. Thus a guest without -mabi=apcs-gnu running
on top of host with -mabi=apcs-gnu will be broken.

The correct fix is to force alignment of structures - however
that is an intrusive fix that's best deferred until the next release.

We didn't previously support such ancient systems at all - this surfaced
after vdpa support prompted removing dependency of vhost on
VIRTULIZATION. So for now, let's just add something along the lines of

	depends on !ARM || AEABI

to the virtio Kconfig declaration, and add a comment that it has to do
with struct member alignment.

Note: we can't make VHOST and VHOST_RING themselves have
a dependency since these are selected. Add a new symbol for that.

We should be able to drop this dependency down the road.
