There are multiple levels to this, but in short mapping to guest
userspace happens via drm/virtio (aka "virtio_gpu" or "virtgpu"), the
cache attributes are set via "map_info" attribute returned from the
host VMM (host userspace, hence the need for this ioctl).
In the host, the host kernel driver mmaps to host userspace (VMM).
Here the exporting driver is performing the mmap with correct cache
attributes. The VMM uses KVM to map these pages into the guest so
they appear as physical pages to the guest kernel. The guest kernel
(virtgpu) in turn maps them to guest userspace.
