This patch set makes vhost-vswitch be able to use vhost async APIs
for enqueue operations. Demonstrated how the application
leverage IOAT DMA channel with vhost async APIs.

We introduce two parameters to enable DMA acceleration for Tx
operations of queues:
-dma_type This parameter is used to specify DMA type for async
vhost-user net driver.
-dmas This parameter is used to specify the assigned DMA device of a
vhost device and enable async vhost data path.

v2:
 * Changed meson build file to fix dependency problem
 * Added parameter description in usage function
 * Optimized parameter settings and parsing function
 * Optimized abstraction, moved some code to ioat.c
