As we discussed, the patch set supporting AF_XDP will be push to net-next.
But the two patchs belong to the vhost.

So, if you think that is appropriate, I will post a new patchset(include the two
patchs without virtio-net + AF_XDP) to vhost. I wish that can be merged to 6.6.

Then when the 6.7 net-next merge window is open, I can push this patch set to
6.7.
The v1 version use the virtqueue_dma_map_single_attrs to replace
virtqueue_dma_map_page_attrs. But I think we should use
virtqueue_dma_map_page_attrs.

Thanks.

Oh wait 6.6? Too late really, merge window has been closed for weeks.

Get a complete working patchset that causes no regressions posted first please
then we will discuss merge strategy.
I would maybe just put everything in one file for now, easier to merge,
refactor later when it's all upstream. But up to you.
