This patch tries to implement an device IOTLB for vhost. This could be used with userspace(qemu) implementation of DMA remapping to emulate an IOMMU for the guest. The idea is simple, cache the translation in a software device IOTLB (which is implemented as an interval tree) in vhost and use vhost_net file descriptor for reporting IOTLB miss and IOTLB update/invalidation. When vhost meets an IOTLB miss, the fault address, size and access can be read from the file. After userspace finishes the translation, it writes the translated address to the vhost_net file to update the device IOTLB. When device IOTLB is enabled by setting VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM all vq addresses set by ioctl are treated as iova instead of virtual address and the accessing can only be done through IOTLB instead of direct userspace memory access. Before each round or vq processing, all vq metadata is prefetched in device IOTLB to make sure no translation fault happens during vq processing. In most cases, virtqueues are contiguous even in virtual address space. The IOTLB translation for virtqueue itself may make it a little slower. We might add fast path cache on top of this patch.
