MLX5 hardware has its internal IOMMU where PMD registers the memory.
On the data path, PMD translates VA into a key consumed by the device
IOMMU. It is impractical for the PMD to register all allocated memory
because of increased lookup cost both in HW and SW. Most often mbuf
memory comes from mempools, so if PMD tracks them, it can almost always
have mbuf memory registered before an mbuf hits the PMD. This patchset
adds such tracking in the PMD and internal API to support it.
Please see [1] for a more thorough explanation of the patch 2/4
and how it can be useful outside of the MLX5 PMD.
