This driver is a reference sample of making vDPA device driver based
on vhost lib, this driver uses a standard virtio-net PCI device as
vDPA device, it can serve as a backend for a virtio-net pci device
in nested VM.

The key driver ops implemented are:

* vdpa_virtio_eng_init
Mapping virtio pci device with VFIO into userspace, and read device
capability and intialize internal data.

* vdpa_virtio_eng_uninit
Release the mapped device.

* vdpa_virtio_info_query
Device capability reporting, e.g. queue number, features.

* vdpa_virtio_dev_config
With the guest virtio information provideed by vhost lib, this
function configures device and IOMMU to set up vhost datapath,
which includes: Rx/Tx vring, VFIO interrupt, kick relay.

* vdpa_virtio_dev_close
Unset the stuff that are configured previously by dev_conf.

This driver requires the virtio device supports VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM
, because the buffer address written in desc is IOVA.

Because vDPA driver needs to set up MSI-X vector to interrupt the guest,
only vfio-pci is supported currently.

Is there a specific constraint that makes you expose PCI functions and
duplicate a lot of vfio code into the driver?

Wouldn't it be better (if possible) to use RTE_PMD_REGISTER_PCI() & co. to benefit from all the existing infrastructure?
