This patch enables the IOTLB API support for vhost-vsock devices,
allowing the userspace to emulate an IOMMU for the guest.
These changes were made following vhost-net, in details this patch:
- exposes VIRTIO_F_ACCESS_PLATFORM feature and inits the iotlb
device if the feature is acked
- implements VHOST_GET_BACKEND_FEATURES and
VHOST_SET_BACKEND_FEATURES ioctls
- calls vq_meta_prefetch() before vq processing to prefetch vq
metadata address in IOTLB
- provides .read_iter, .write_iter, and .poll callbacks for the
chardev; they are used by the userspace to exchange IOTLB messages
This patch was tested specifying "intel_iommu=strict" in the guest
kernel command line. I used QEMU with a patch applied [1] to fix a
simple issue (that patch was merged in QEMU v5.2.0):
$ qemu -M q35,accel=kvm,kernel-irqchip=split \
-drive file=fedora.qcow2,format=qcow2,if=virtio \
-device intel-iommu,intremap=on,device-iotlb=on \
-device vhost-vsock-pci,guest-cid=3,iommu_platform=on,ats=on

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
