When used by vhost-vDPA bus driver for VM, the control virtqueue should be shadowed via userspace VMM (QEMU) instead of being assigned directly to Guest. This is because QEMU needs to know the device state in order to start and stop device correctly (e.g for Live Migration).
This requies to isolate the memory mapping for control virtqueue presented by vhost-vDPA to prevent guest from accessing it directly. This series add support to multiple address spaces in VDUSE device allowing selective virtqueue isolation through address space IDs (ASID). The VDUSE device needs to report: * Number of virtqueue groups * Association of each vq group with each virtqueue * Number of address spaces supported. Then, the vDPA driver can modify the ASID assigned to each VQ group to isolate the memory AS. This aligns VDUSE with gq}vdpa_sim and nvidia mlx5 devices which already support ASID. This helps to isolate the environments for the virtqueues that will not be assigned directly. E.g in the case of virtio-net, the control virtqueue will not be assigned directly to guest. This is still a RFC as it depends on the series that reworks the virtio mapping API: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250718091616.6140-1-jasow...@redhat.com/ As some changes has been requested to it, these will need to be applied here too. Also, to be able to test this patch, the user needs to manually revert 56e71885b034 ("vduse: Temporarily fail if control queue feature requested"). v2: * Cache group information in kernel, as we need to provide the vq map tokens properly. * Add descs vq group to optimize SVQ forwarding and support indirect descriptors out of the box. * Make iotlb entry the last one of vduse_iotlb_entry_v2 so the first part of the struct is the same. * Fixes detected testing with OVS+VDUSE.
