Hi: This series tries to access virtqueue metadata through kernel virtual address instead of copy_user() friends since they had too much overheads like checks, spec barriers or even hardware feature toggling. Test shows about 24% improvement on TX PPS. It should benefit other cases as well. Changes from V1: - instead of pinning pages, use MMU notifier to invalidate vmaps and remap duing
