This patch series adds support for vq descriptor table mappings which
are used to improve vdpa live migration downtime. The improvement comes
from using smaller mappings which take less time to create and destroy
in hw.

Gentle ping.

Note that I will have to send a v2. The changes in mlx5_ifc.h will need to be
merged first separately into the mlx5-next branch [0] and then pulled from there
when the series is applied.
This separation is unnecessary, as historically the virtio emulation portion of the update to mlx5_ifc.h often had to go through the vhost tree. See commits 1892a3d425bf and e13cd45d352d. Especially the additions from this series (mainly desc group mkey) have nothing to do with any networking or NIC driver feature.

Thanks,

The first part adds the vdpa core changes from Si-Wei [0].

The second part adds support in mlx5_vdpa:
- Refactor the mr code to be able to cleanly add descriptor mappings.
- Add hardware descriptor mr support.
- Properly update iotlb for cvq during ASID switch.
