An optimization was done to only take the iotlb cache lock
once per packet burst instead of once per IOVA translation.
With this, IOTLB miss requests are sent to Qemu with the lock
held, which can cause a deadlock if the socket buffer is full,
and if Qemu is waiting for an IOTLB update to be done.
Holding the lock is not necessary when sending an IOTLB miss
request, as it is not manipulating the IOTLB cache list, which
the lock protects. Let's just release it while sending the
IOTLB miss.

This patch introduces vhost_iova_to_vva() function to translate
guest's IO virtual addresses to backend's virtual addresses.
When IOMMU is enabled, the IOTLB cache is queried to get the
translation. If missing from the IOTLB cache, an IOTLB_MISS request
is sent to Qemu, and IOTLB cache is queried again on IOTLB event
notification.
When IOMMU is disabled, the passed address is a guest's physical
address, so the legacy rte_vhost_gpa_to_vva() API is used.

This patch adaptively batches the small guest memory copies.
By batching the small copies, the efficiency of executing the
memory LOAD instructions can be improved greatly, because the
memory LOAD latency can be effectively hidden by the pipeline.
We saw great performance boosts for small packets PVP test.
This patch improves the performance for small packets, and has
distinguished the packets by size. So although the performance
for big packets doesn't change, it makes it relatively easy to
do some special optimizations for the big packets too.

We used to use rte_vhost_get_queue_num() for telling how many vrings.
However, the return value is the number of "queue pairs", which is
very virtio-net specific. To make it generic, we should return the
number of vrings instead, and let the driver do the proper translation.
Say, virtio-net driver could turn it to the number of queue pairs by
dividing 2.
Meanwhile, mark rte_vhost_get_queue_num as deprecated.

71dfdbe66a66 ("vhost: fix build with kernel < 3.8") meant to fix it, but
in a wrong way: it completely disables the MQ features for those kernels.
However, the MQ feature doesn't depend on the kernel at all (except the
macros dependency stated above), that we could still enable the MQ feature
even the host kernel has no such support.
The right fix is to define the macro if it's not defined.

The basic idea is to shadow the used ring update: update them into a
local buffer first, and then flush them all to the virtio used vring
at once in the end.
And since we do avail ring reservation before enqueuing data, we would
know which and how many descs will be used. Which means we could update
the shadow used ring at the reservation time. It also introduce another
slight advantage: we don't need access the desc->flag any more inside
copy_mbuf_to_desc_mergeable().

The basic idea of dequeue zero copy is, instead of copying data from
the desc buf, here we let the mbuf reference the desc buf addr directly.
Doing so, however, has one major issue: we can't update the used ring
at the end of rte_vhost_dequeue_burst. Because we don't do the copy
here, an update of the used ring would let the driver to reclaim the
desc buf. As a result, DPDK might reference a stale memory region.
To update the used ring properly, this patch does several tricks:
- when mbuf references a desc buf, refcnt is added by 1.
This is to pin lock the mbuf, so that a mbuf free from the DPDK
won't actually free it, instead, refcnt is subtracted by 1.
- We chain all those mbuf together (by tailq)
And we check it every time on the rte_vhost_dequeue_burst entrance,
to see if the mbuf is freed (when refcnt equals to 1). If that
happens, it means we are the last user of this mbuf and we are
safe to update the used ring.
- "struct zcopy_mbuf" is introduced, to associate an mbuf with the
right desc idx.
Dequeue zero copy is introduced for performance reason, and some rough
tests show about 50% perfomance boost for packet size 1500B. For small
packets, (e.g. 64B), it actually slows a bit down (well, it could up to
15%). That is expected because this patch introduces some extra works,
and it outweighs the benefit from saving few bytes copy.

Indirect descriptors are usually supported by virtio-net devices,
allowing to dispatch a larger number of requests.
When the virtio device sends a packet using indirect descriptors,
only one slot is used in the ring, even for large packets.
The main effect is to improve the 0% packet loss benchmark.
A PVP benchmark using Moongen (64 bytes) on the TE, and testpmd
(fwd io for host, macswap for VM) on DUT shows a +50% gain for
zero loss.
On the downside, micro-benchmark using testpmd txonly in VM and
rxonly on host shows a loss between 1 and 4%. But depending on
the needs, feature can be disabled at VM boot time by passing
indirect_desc=off argument to vhost-user device in Qemu.

The code structure is a bit messy now. For example, vhost-user message
handling is spread to three different files:
vhost-net-user.c virtio-net.c virtio-net-user.c
Where, vhost-net-user.c is the entrance to handle all those messages
and then invoke the right method for a specific message. Some of them
are stored at virtio-net.c, while others are stored at virtio-net-user.c.
The truth is all of them should be in one file, vhost_user.c.
So this patch refactors the source code structure: mainly on renaming
files and moving code from one file to another file that is more suitable
for storing it. Thus, no functional changes are made.
After the refactor, the code structure becomes to:
- socket.c handles all vhost-user socket file related stuff, such
as, socket file creation for server mode, reconnection
for client mode.
- vhost.c mainly on stuff like vhost device creation/destroy/reset.
Most of the vhost API implementation are there, too.
- vhost_user.c all stuff about vhost-user messages handling goes there.
- virtio_net.c all stuff about virtio-net should go there. It has virtio
net Rx/Tx implementation only so far: it's just a rename
from vhost_rxtx.c
