I'm ok to explore that route but this has another problem. Both SVQ
vrings and CVQ buffers also need to be addressable by VhostIOVATree,
and they do not have GPA.

At this moment vhost_svq_translate_addr is able to handle this
transparently as we translate vaddr to SVQ IOVA. How can we store
these new entries? Maybe a (hwaddr)-1 GPA to signal it has no GPA and
then a list to go through other entries (SVQ vaddr and CVQ buffers).

Thanks!
