This introduces the VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_REPLY_ACK.
If negotiated, client applications should send a u64 payload in
response to any message that contains the "need_reply" bit set
on the message flags. Setting the payload to "zero" indicates the
command finished successfully. Likewise, setting it to "non-zero"
indicates an error.
Currently implemented only for SET_MEM_TABLE.

"number of vrings" doesn't help me understand the purpose of this

It seems that we currently have some duplication between
started and enabled states.
The actual reason is that enable is not documented correctly:
what it does is connecting ring to the backend.
This is important for MQ, because a Linux guest expects TX
packets to be completed even if it disables some queues
temporarily.

We wanted to start/stop rings on VRING_ENABLE, but that is not what QEMU
does. Rather than tweaking code some more, with risk to stability, let's
just document it as it is.
We'll be able to fix this in the future with a new protocol feature bit.

Unlike the kernel, vhost-user application accesses log table by
mmaping it to its user space. This change adds two new fields to
VhostUserMsg payload: mmap_size, and mmap_offset and make QEMU to
pass the to vhost-user application in VHOST_USER_SET_LOG_BASE
request.

A new vhost user message is added to allow QEMU to ask to vhost user backend to
broadcast a fake RARP after live migration for guest without GUEST_ANNOUNCE
capability.
This new message is sent only if the backend supports the new
VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_RARP protocol feature.
The payload of this new message is the MAC address of the guest (not known by
the backend). The MAC address is copied in the first 6 bytes of a u64 to avoid
to create a new payload message type.
This new message has no equivalent ioctl so a new callback is added in the
userOps structure to send the request.
Upon reception of this new message the vhost user backend must generate and
broadcast a fake RARP request to notify the migration is terminated.

This patch is initially based a patch from Nikolay Nikolaev.
This patch adds vhost-user multiple queue support, by creating a nc
and vhost_net pair for each queue.
Qemu exits if find that the backend can't support the number of requested
queues (by providing queues=# option). The max number is queried by a
new message, VHOST_USER_GET_QUEUE_NUM, and is sent only when protocol
feature VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_MQ is present first.
The max queue check is done at vhost-user initiation stage. We initiate
one queue first, which, in the meantime, also gets the max_queues the
backend supports.
In older version, it was reported that some messages are sent more times
than necessary. Here we came an agreement with Michael that we could
categorize vhost user messages to 2 types: non-vring specific messages,
which should be sent only once, and vring specific messages, which should
be sent per queue.
Here I introduced a helper function vhost_user_one_time_request(), which
lists following messages as non-vring specific messages:
VHOST_USER_SET_OWNER
VHOST_USER_RESET_DEVICE
VHOST_USER_SET_MEM_TABLE
VHOST_USER_GET_QUEUE_NUM
For above messages, we simply ignore them when they are not sent the first
time.

This is for querying how many queues the backend supports if it has mq
support(when VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_MQ flag is set from the quried
protocol features).
vhost_net_get_max_queues() is the interface to export that value, and
to tell if the backend supports # of queues user requested, which is
done in the following patch.

Based on patch by Nikolay Nikolaev:
Vhost-user will implement the multi queue support in a similar way
to what vhost already has - a separate thread for each queue.
To enable the multi queue functionality - a new command line parameter
"queues" is introduced for the vhost-user netdev.

Old code was affected by memory gaps which resulted in buffer pointers
pointing to address outside of the mapped regions.
Here we are introducing following changes:
- new function qemu_get_ram_block_host_ptr() returns host pointer
to the ram block, it is needed to calculate offset of specific
region in the host memory
- new field mmap_offset is added to the VhostUserMemoryRegion. It
contains offset where specific region starts in the mapped memory.
As there is stil no wider adoption of vhost-user agreement was made
that we will not bump version number due to this change
- other fileds in VhostUserMemoryRegion struct are not changed, as
they are all needed for usermode app implementation
- region data is not taken from ram_list.blocks anymore, instead we
use region data which is alredy calculated for use in vhost-net
- Now multiple regions can have same FD and user applicaton can call
mmap() multiple times with the same FD but with different offset
(user needs to take care for offset page alignment)
