[PATCH v4 0/7] vdpa: decouple reset of iotlb mapping from device reset

[Si-Wei Liu]

In order to reduce needlessly high setup and teardown cost
of iotlb mapping during live migration, it's crucial to
decouple the vhost-vdpa iotlb abstraction from the virtio
device life cycle, i.e. iotlb mappings should be left
intact across virtio device reset [1]. For it to work, the
on-chip IOMMU parent device could implement a separate
.reset_map() operation callback to restore 1:1 DMA mapping
without having to resort to the .reset() callback, the
latter of which is mainly used to reset virtio device state.
This new .reset_map() callback will be invoked only before
the vhost-vdpa driver is to be removed and detached from
the vdpa bus, such that other vdpa bus drivers, e.g. 
virtio-vdpa, can start with 1:1 DMA mapping when they
are attached. For the context, those on-chip IOMMU parent
devices, create the 1:1 DMA mapping at vdpa device creation,
and they would implicitly destroy the 1:1 mapping when
the first .set_map or .dma_map callback is invoked.

This patchset is rebased on top of the latest vhost tree.
