Well.  virtio has no concept of "bars" ...

The most common virtio transport layer happens to be pci, which actually
has bars.  But we also have virtio-mmio (largely unused since arm got
pci) and virtio-ccw (used on s390x).

In any case it would be a layering violation.

Figured meanwhile qemu got memfd support recently, i.e. it can be
configured to back guest memory with memfd.  Which makes the memfd route
quite attractive.  Guess I try switch udmabuf to require memfd storage
as proof-of-concept.

cheers,
  Gerd
