If so, I can remove the first two commits.

Then, the sq uses the premapped mode by default.
And we can use the api virtqueue_dma_map_single_attrs to replace the
virtqueue_dma_map_page_attrs.

And then I will fix that on the top.

Hi Micheal and Jason, is that ok for you?

Thanks.

I would go with what looks easy for you but I think Jakub wants the
series to go with next-next (this is what we did in the past for
networking specific features that is done in virtio-net). So we need
to tweak the prefix to use net-next instead of vhost.
