From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <dgilbert@xxxxxxxxxx>
'setupmapping' is a command for use with 'virtiofsd', a fuse-over-virtio
implementation; it may find use in other fuse impelementations as well
in which the kernel does not have access to the address space of the
daemon directly.
A 'setupmapping' operation causes a section of a file to be mapped
into a memory window visible to the kernel.
The offsets in the file and the window are defined by the kernel performing
the operation.
The daemon may reject the request, for reasons including permissions and
limited resources.
When a request perfectly overlaps a previous mapping, the
previous mapping is replaced. When a mapping partially overlaps a previous
mapping, the previous mapping is split into one or two smaller mappings.
