Current pre-sorted memory region array has some limitations for future
device IOTLB conversion:
1) need extra work for adding and removing a single region, and it's
expected to be slow because of sorting or memory re-allocation.
2) need extra work of removing a large range which may intersect
This patch introduces vhost memory accessors which were just wrappers
for userspace address access helpers. This is a requirement for vhost
device iotlb implementation which will add iotlb translations in those
accessors.

This patch tries to implement an device IOTLB for vhost. This could be
used with for co-operation with userspace IOMMU implementation (qemu)
for a secure DMA environment (DMAR) in guest.
The idea is simple. When vhost meets an IOTLB miss, it will request
the assistance of userspace to do the trans
This patch tries to implement an device IOTLB for vhost. This could be
used with for co-operation with userspace(qemu) implementation of DMA
remapping.
The idea is simple, cache the translation in a software device IOTLB
(interval tree) implementation in vhost and make vhost_net file
