[PATCH 0/6] vDPA: doorbell mapping
Hi all: This series introduce basic functionality of doorbell mapping support for vhost-vDPA. Userspace program may use mmap() to map a the doorbell of a specific virtqueue into its address space. This is help to reudce the syscall or vmexit overhead. A new vdpa_config_ops was introduced to report the location of the doorbell, vhost_vdpa may then choose to map the doorbell when: - The doorbell
