6b39271746 lguest: map Switcher below fixmap.
Now we've adjusted all the code, we can simply set switcher_addr to
wherever it needs to go below the fixmaps, rather than asserting that
it should be so.

With large NR_CPUS and PAE, people were hitting the "mapping switcher
would thwack fixmap" message.

We currently use the whole top PGD entry for the switcher, so we

74ff582cd6 virtio: console: replace EMFILE with EBUSY for already-open port
Returning EMFILE (process has too many open files) is incorrect to
indicate a port is already open by another process.  Use EBUSY for that.

This does change what we report to userspace, but I believe userspace
can look at it this way: it gets EBUSY, a new error code, instead of
EMFILE.  It's still an error, and that's not changing.

9141a4ca0d virtio-scsi: introduce multiqueue support
This patch adds queue steering to virtio-scsi.  When a target is sent
multiple requests, we always drive them to the same queue so that FIFO
processing order is kept.  However, if a target was idle, we can choose
a queue arbitrarily.  In this case the queue is chosen according to the
current VCPU, so the driver expects the number of request queues to be
equal to the number of VCPUs.  This makes it easy and fast to select
the queue, and also lets the driver optimize the IRQ affinity for the
virtqueues (each virtqueue's affinity is set to the CPU that "owns"
the queue).

The speedup comes from improving cache locality and giving CPU affinity
to the virtqueues, which is why this scheme was selected.  Assuming that
the thread that is sending requests to the device is I/O-bound, it is
likely to be sleeping at the time the ISR is executed, and thus executing
the ISR on the same processor that sent the requests is cheap.

However, the kernel will not execute the ISR on the "best" processor
unless you explicitly set the affinity.  This is because in practice
you will have many such I/O-bound processes and thus many otherwise
idle processors.  Then the kernel will execute the ISR on a random
processor, rather than the one that is sending requests to the device.

The alternative to per-CPU virtqueues is per-target virtqueues.  To
achieve the same locality, we could dynamically choose the virtqueue's
affinity based on the CPU of the last task that sent a request.  This
is less appealing because we do not set the affinity directly---we only
provide a hint to the irqbalanced running in userspace.  Dynamically
changing the affinity only works if the userspace applies the hint
fast enough.

5c370194df virtio-scsi: redo allocation of target data
virtio_scsi_target_state is now empty.  We will find new uses for it in
the next few patches, so this patch does not drop it completely.

And as James suggested, we use entries target_alloc and target_destroy
in the host template to allocate and destroy the virtio_scsi_target_state
of each target, attach this struct to scsi_target->hostdata. Now
we can get at it from the sdev with scsi_target(sdev)->hostdata.
No messing around with fixed size arrays and bulk memory allocation
and no need to pass in the maximum target size as a parameter because
everything should now happen dynamically.

0d2e1a2926 caif_virtio: Introduce caif over virtio
Add the CAIF Virtio shared memory driver for talking
to a modem.

This CAIF Link layer communicates to the modem over
shared memory. It is implemented as a virtio_driver.
The underlying virtio device is managed by the remoteproc
framework. The Virtio queue is used for transmitting data
to the modem, and the new vringh is used for receiving data.

Genalloc is used for managing the shared memory used for TX
data. The default dma-alloc-coherent allocator can only
allocate whole pages, and this wastes too much shared memory.

Flow control is implemented by stopping the TX-queues if the
virtio queues go full or we run out of memory. Queued are
reopened when queues are below the watermark.

NAPI is used in RX path, and a dedicated tasklet is used
for releasing TX buffers.

3beee86a4b virtio: Introduce vringh wrappers in virtio_config
Add wrappers for the host vrings to support loose
coupling between the virtio device and driver.

A new struct vringh_config_ops with the functions
find_vrhs() and del_vrhs() is added to the virtio_device
struct. This enables virtio drivers to manage virtio
host rings without detailed knowledge of how the
vrings are created and deleted.

The function vringh_notify() is added so vringh clients
can notify the other side that buffers are added to the
used-ring.

1515c5ce26 tools/virtio: add vring_test.
This is mainly to test the drivers/vhost/vringh.c code, but it also
uses the drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.c code for the guest side.

Usage for testing the basic implementation:

	./vringh_test
	# Test with indirect descriptors
	./vringh_test --indirect
	# Test with indirect descriptors and event indexex
	./vringh_test --indirect --eventidx

You can run a parallel stress test by adding --parallel to any of the
above options.

eg ./vringh_test --parallel:
	Using CPUS 0 and 3
	Guest: notified 10107974, pinged 107970
	Host: notified 108158, pinged 3172148

./vringh_test --indirect --eventidx --parallel:
	Using CPUS 0 and 3
	Guest: notified 156357, pinged 156251
	Host: notified 156251, pinged 78179

Average of 50 times doing ./vringh_test --indirect --eventidx --parallel:
	2.840000-3.040000(2.927292)user

f87d0fbb57 vringh: host-side implementation of virtio rings.
Getting use of virtio rings correct is tricky, and a recent patch saw
an implementation of in-kernel rings (as separate from userspace).

This abstracts the business of dealing with the virtio ring layout
from the access (userspace or direct); to do this, we use function
pointers, which gcc inlines correctly.
