Now that KNI supports VA (with kernel versions starting 4.6.0), we can
accept IOVA as VA, but KNI must be configured for this.
Pass iova_mode when creating KNI netdevs.
So far, IOVA detection policy forced IOVA as PA when KNI is loaded,
whatever the buses IOVA requirements were.
We can now use IOVA as VA, but this comes with a cost in KNI.
When no constraint is expressed by the buses, keep the current behavior
of choosing PA.
Note: this change supposes that dpdk is built on the same kernel than
the target system kernel; no objection has been expressed on this topic.

Patch adds support for kernel module to work in IOVA = VA mode by
providing address translation routines to convert userspace VA to
kernel VA.
KNI performance using PA is not changed by this patch.
But comparing KNI using PA to KNI using VA, the latter will have lower
performance due to the cost of the added translation.
This translation is implemented only with kernel versions starting 4.6.0.

When VHOST_USER_VRING_NOFD_MASK is set, the fd_num is 0,

the negotiation of vring message between vhost user front end and

1.Run dpdk testpmd insides VM, which locates at host with ovs+dpdk.

The rdma core library can map doorbell register in two ways,
depending on the environment variable "MLX5_SHUT_UP_BF":
- as regular cached memory, the variable is either missing or
set to zero. This type of mapping may cause the significant
doorbell register writing latency and requires explicit
memory write barrier to mitigate this issue and prevent
write combining.
- as non-cached memory, the variable is present and set to
not "0" value. This type of mapping may cause performance
impact under heavy loading conditions but the explicit write
memory barrier is not required and it may improve core
performance.
The new devarg is introduced "tx_db_nc", if this parameter is
set to zero, the doorbell register is forced to be mapped to
cached memory and requires explicit memory barrier after
writing to. If "tx_db_nc" is set to non-zero value the doorbell
will be mapped as non-cached memory, not requiring the memory
barrier. If "tx_db_nc" is missing the behaviour will be defined
by presence of "MLX5_SHUT_UP_BF" in environment. If variable
is missed the default value zero will be set for ARM64 hosts
and one for others.
In run time the code checks the mapping type and provides the
memory barrier after writing to tx doorbell register if it is
needed. The mapping type is extracted directly from the
uar_mmap_offset field in the queue properties.
