[RFC v4 00/11] Add vduse live migration features

[Eugenio Pérez]

This series introduces features to the VDUSE (vDPA Device in Userspace) driver
to support Live Migration.

Currently, DPDK does not support VDUSE devices live migration because the
driver lacks a mechanism to suspend the device and quiesce the rings to
initiate the switchover.  This series implements the suspend operation to
address this limitation.

Furthermore, enabling Live Migration for devices with control virtqueue needs
two additional features.  Both of them are included in this series.

* Address Spaces (ASID) support: This allows QEMU to isolate and intercept the
  device's CVQ. By doing so, QEMU is able to migrate the device status
  transparently, without requiring the device to support state save and
  restore.
* QUEUE_ENABLE: This allows QEMU to control when the dataplane virtqueues are
  enabled.  This ensures the dataplane is started after the device
  configuration has been fully restores via the CVQ.

Last but not least, it enables the VIRTIO_NET_F_STATUS feature.  This allows the
device to signal the driver that it needs to send gratuitous ARP with
VIRTIO_NET_S_ANNOUNCE, reducing the Live Migration downtime.

v4:
* Sync headers with Linux's latest existing and proposed UAPI.  Both
  files constants and new ioctl VDUSE_SET_FEATURES.
* Check for more error conditions and clarified some error messages in
  ready message processing.
* Add relevant release notes.
* Fix cosmetic whitespaces & checkpath errors.
* Fix error path of vhost_user_iotlb_init and vhost_user_iotlb_init_one.
* Fix commits author.

v3:
* Replace incorrect '%lx' DEBUG print format specifier with PRIx64

v2:
* Following latest comments on kernel series about VDUSE features, not checking
  API version but only check if VDUSE_GET_FEATURES success.
* Move the start and last declarations in the braces as gcc 8 does not like
  them interleaved with statements. Actually, I think the move was a mistake in
  the first version.
