Jason Wang 9ad9c49cfe vringh: IOTLB support
This patch implements the third memory accessor for vringh besides
current kernel and userspace accessors. This idea is to allow vringh
to do the address translation through an IOTLB which is implemented
via vhost_map interval tree. Users should setup and IOVA to PA mapping
in this IOTLB.

This allows us to:

- Use vringh to access virtqueues with vIOMMU
- Use vringh to implement software virtqueues for vDPA devices

Generic IOTLB implementation for vhost and vringh.

This option is selected by any driver which needs to access
the host side of a virtio ring.

This option is selected by any driver which needs to access
the core of vhost.

select VHOST
---help---
This kernel module can be loaded in host kernel to accelerate
guest networking with virtio_net. Not to be confused with virtio_net
module itself which needs to be loaded in guest kernel.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will
be called vhost_net.

---help---
Say M here to enable the vhost_scsi TCM fabric module
for use with virtio-scsi guests
config VHOST_VSOCK
tristate "vhost virtio-vsock driver"
depends on VSOCKETS && EVENTFD
select VHOST
select VIRTIO_VSOCKETS_COMMON
default n
---help---
This kernel module can be loaded in the host kernel to provide AF_VSOCK
sockets for communicating with guests. The guests must have the
virtio_transport.ko driver loaded to use the virtio-vsock device.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called
vhost_vsock.
config VHOST_CROSS_ENDIAN_LEGACY
bool "Cross-endian support for vhost"
default n
---help---
This option allows vhost to support guests with a different byte
ordering from host while using legacy virtio.
Userspace programs can control the feature using the
VHOST_SET_VRING_ENDIAN and VHOST_GET_VRING_ENDIAN ioctls.
This is only useful on a few platforms (ppc64 and arm64). Since it
adds some overhead, it is disabled by default.
If unsure, say "N".
