This patch introduces a mdev based hardware vhost backend.
This backend is built on top of the same abstraction used
in virtio-mdev and provides a generic vhost interface for
userspace to accelerate the virtio devices in guest.

This backend is implemented as a mdev device driver on top
of the same mdev device ops used in virtio-mdev but using
a different mdev class id, and it will register the device
as a VFIO device for userspace to use. Userspace can setup
the IOMMU with the existing VFIO container/group APIs and
then get the device fd with the device name. After getting
the device fd, userspace can use vhost ioctls on top of it
to setup the backend.
