This series enables shadow virtqueue (SVQ) for vhost-vdpa devices. This
is intended as a new method of tracking the memory the devices touch
during a migration process: Instead of relay on vhost device's dirty
logging capability, SVQ intercepts the VQ dataplane forwarding the
descriptors between VM and device. This way qemu is the effective
writer of guests memory, like in qemu's emulated virtio device
operation.

When SVQ is enabled qemu offers a new virtual address space to the
device to read and write into, and it maps new vrings and the guest
memory in it. SVQ also intercepts kicks and calls between the device
and the guest. Used buffers relay would cause dirty memory being
tracked, but at this RFC SVQ is not enabled on migration automatically.

Thanks of being a buffers relay system, SVQ can be used also to
communicate devices and drivers with different capabilities, like
devices that only support packed vring and not split and old guests with
no driver packed support.

It is based on the ideas of DPDK SW assisted LM, in the series of
DPDK's https://patchwork.dpdk.org/cover/48370/ . However, these does
not map the shadow vq in guest's VA, but in qemu's.

This version of SVQ is limited in the amount of features it can use with
guest and device, because this series is already very big otherwise.
Features like indirect or event_idx will be addressed in future series.

SVQ needs to be enabled with cmdline parameter x-svq, like:

-netdev type=vhost-vdpa,vhostdev=/dev/vhost-vdpa-0,id=vhost-vdpa0,x-svq=true

In this version it cannot be enabled or disabled in runtime. Further
series will remove this limitation and will enable it only for migration
time.

Some patches are intentionally very small to ease review, but they can
be squashed if preferred.

Patches 1-10 prepares the SVQ and QEMU to support both guest to device
and device to guest notifications forwarding, with the extra qemu hop.
That part can be tested in isolation if cmdline change is reproduced.

Patches from 11 to 18 implement the actual buffer forwarding, but with
no IOMMU support. It requires a vdpa device capable of addressing all
qemu vaddr.

Patches 19 to 23 adds the iommu support, so the device with address
range limitations can access SVQ through this new virtual address space
created.

The rest of the series add the last pieces needed for migration.

Comments are welcome.


I wonder the performance impact. So performance numbers are more than welcomed.

Thanks



TODO:
* Event, indirect, packed, and other features of virtio.
* To separate buffers forwarding in its own AIO context, so we can
   throw more threads to that task and we don't need to stop the main
   event loop.
* Support virtio-net control vq.
* Proper documentation.

Changes from v5 RFC:
* Remove dynamic enablement of SVQ, making less dependent of the device.
* Enable live migration if SVQ is enabled.
* Fix SVQ when driver reset.
* Comments addressed, specially in the iova area.
* Rebase on latest master, adding multiqueue support (but no networking
   control vq processing).

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2021-10/msg07250.html

Changes from v4 RFC:
* Support of allocating / freeing iova ranges in IOVA tree. Extending
   already present iova-tree for that.
* Proper validation of guest features. Now SVQ can negotiate a
   different set of features with the device when enabled.
* Support of host notifiers memory regions
* Handling of SVQ full queue in case guest's descriptors span to
   different memory regions (qemu's VA chunks).
* Flush pending used buffers at end of SVQ operation.
* QMP command now looks by NetClientState name. Other devices will need
   to implement it's way to enable vdpa.
* Rename QMP command to set, so it looks more like a way of working
* Better use of qemu error system
* Make a few assertions proper error-handling paths.
* Add more documentation
* Less coupling of virtio / vhost, that could cause friction on changes
* Addressed many other small comments and small fixes.

Changes from v3 RFC:
   * Move everything to vhost-vdpa backend. A big change, this allowed
     some cleanup but more code has been added in other places.
   * More use of glib utilities, especially to manage memory.
v3 link:
https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2021-05/msg06032.html

Changes from v2 RFC:
   * Adding vhost-vdpa devices support
   * Fixed some memory leaks pointed by different comments
v2 link:
https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2021-03/msg05600.html

Changes from v1 RFC:
   * Use QMP instead of migration to start SVQ mode.
   * Only accepting IOMMU devices, closer behavior with target devices
     (vDPA)
   * Fix invalid masking/unmasking of vhost call fd.
   * Use of proper methods for synchronization.
   * No need to modify VirtIO device code, all of the changes are
     contained in vhost code.
   * Delete superfluous code.
   * An intermediate RFC was sent with only the notifications forwarding
     changes. It can be seen in
