[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v5 2/2] example/vhost: add dma vfio parsing

This patch adds the dma-vfio argument parsing for async vhost driver.
This argument can help to determine whether IOMMU needs to be
programmed for guest memory.

+**--dma-vfio**
+This parameter is used to specify whether the IOMMU needs to be programmed.
+If the DMA device is bound to vfio, IOMMU dma mapping will be setup for
+guest memory. If igb_uio is bound by DMA device, there is no need to do
+IOMMU dma mapping. It is a supplementary parameter for async vhost-user
+driver and it is disabled by default.
