This patches implements Device IOTLB support for vhost kernel. This is
done through:
1) switch to use dma helpers when map/unmap vrings from vhost codes
2) introduce a set of VhostOps to:
- setting up device IOTLB request callback
- processing device IOTLB request
- processing device IOTLB invalidation
2) kernel support for Device IOTLB API:
- allow vhost-net to query the IOMMU IOTLB entry through eventfd
- enable the ability for qemu to update a specified mapping of vhost
- through ioctl.
- enable the ability to invalidate a specified range of iova for the
device IOTLB of vhost through ioctl. In x86/intel_iommu case this is
triggered through iommu memory region notifier from device IOTLB
invalidation descriptor processing routine.
With all the above, kernel vhost_net can co-operate with userspace
IOMMU. For vhost-user, the support could be easily done on top by
implementing the VhostOps.

Specifically this patch is the one causing issues.
