[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v5 3/5] vhost: handle memory hotplug for async vhost

From: Jiayu Hu <jiayu.hu at intel.com>

When the guest memory is hotplugged, the vhost application which
enables DMA acceleration must stop DMA transfers before the vhost
re-maps the guest memory.

This patch is to notify the vhost application of stopping DMA
transfers.
