Hi Arseniy,

Sparse seems unhappy about this.
Though, TBH, I'm unsure what should be done about it.

.../virtio_transport_common.c:117:24: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces)
.../virtio_transport_common.c:117:24:    expected void [noderef] __user *iov_base
.../virtio_transport_common.c:117:24:    got void *dst
