Next patches in this series will delay the polling
and checking of buffers until either the SVQ is
full or control commands shadow buffers are full,
no longer perform an immediate poll and check of
the device's used buffers for each CVQ state load command.
To achieve this, this patch exposes
vhost_svq_available_slots(), allowing QEMU to know
whether the SVQ is full.

Next patches in this series will no longer perform an
immediate poll and check of the device's used buffers
for each CVQ state load command. Instead, they will
send CVQ state load commands in parallel by polling
multiple pending buffers at once.
To achieve this, this patch refactoring vhost_svq_poll()
to accept a new argument `num`, which allows vhost_svq_poll()
to wait for the device to use multiple elements,
rather than polling for a single element.

QEMU uses vhost_svq_translate_addr() to translate addresses
between the QEMU's virtual address and the SVQ IOVA. In order
to validate this translation, QEMU checks whether the translated
range falls within the mapped range.
Yet the problem is that, the value of `needle_last`, which is calculated
by `needle.translated_addr + iovec[i].iov_len`, should represent the
exclusive boundary of the translated range, rather than the last
inclusive addresses of the range. Consequently, QEMU fails the check
when the translated range matches the size of the mapped range.
This patch solves this problem by fixing the `needle_last` value to
the last inclusive address of the translated range.
Note that this bug cannot be triggered at the moment, because QEMU
is unable to translate such a big range due to the truncation of
the CVQ command in vhost_vdpa_net_handle_ctrl_avail().

QEMU invokes vhost_svq_add() when adding a guest's element
into SVQ. In vhost_svq_add(), it uses vhost_svq_available_slots()
to check whether QEMU can add the element into SVQ. If there is
enough space, then QEMU combines some out descriptors and some
in descriptors into one descriptor chain, and adds it into
`svq->vring.desc` by vhost_svq_vring_write_descs().
Yet the problem is that, `svq->shadow_avail_idx - svq->shadow_used_idx`
in vhost_svq_available_slots() returns the number of occupied elements,
or the number of descriptor chains, instead of the number of occupied
descriptors, which may cause wrapping in SVQ descriptor ring.
Here is an example. In vhost_handle_guest_kick(), QEMU forwards
as many available buffers to device by virtqueue_pop() and
vhost_svq_add_element(). virtqueue_pop() returns a guest's element,
and then this element is added into SVQ by vhost_svq_add_element(),
a wrapper to vhost_svq_add(). If QEMU invokes virtqueue_pop() and
vhost_svq_add_element() `svq->vring.num` times,
vhost_svq_available_slots() thinks QEMU just ran out of slots and
everything should work fine. But in fact, virtqueue_pop() returns
`svq->vring.num` elements or descriptor chains, more than
`svq->vring.num` descriptors due to guest memory fragmentation,
and this causes wrapping in SVQ descriptor ring.
This bug is valid even before marking the descriptors used.
If the guest memory is fragmented, SVQ must add chains
so it can try to add more descriptors than possible.
This patch solves it by adding `num_free` field in
VhostShadowVirtqueue structure and updating this field
in vhost_svq_add() and vhost_svq_get_buf(), to record
the number of free descriptors.

At this moment it is only possible to migrate to a vdpa device running
with x-svq=on. As a protective measure, the rewind of the inflight
descriptors was done at the destination. That way if the source sent a
virtqueue with inuse descriptors they are always discarded.
Since this series allows to migrate also to passthrough devices with no

vrings are correct.

Initial version of shadow virtqueue that actually forward buffers. There
is no iommu support at the moment, and that will be addressed in future
patches of this series. Since all vhost-vdpa devices use forced IOMMU,
this means that SVQ is not usable at this point of the series on any
device.
For simplicity it only supports modern devices, that expects vring
in little endian, with split ring and no event idx or indirect
descriptors. Support for them will not be added in this series.
It reuses the VirtQueue code for the device part. The driver part is
based on Linux's virtio_ring driver, but with stripped functionality
and optimizations so it's easier to review.
However, forwarding buffers have some particular pieces: One of the most
unexpected ones is that a guest's buffer can expand through more than
one descriptor in SVQ. While this is handled gracefully by qemu's
emulated virtio devices, it may cause unexpected SVQ queue full. This
patch also solves it by checking for this condition at both guest's
kicks and device's calls. The code may be more elegant in the future if
SVQ code runs in its own iocontext.

Vhost shadow virtqueue (SVQ) is an intermediate jump for virtqueue
notifications and buffers, allowing qemu to track them. While qemu is
forwarding the buffers and virtqueue changes, it is able to commit the
memory it's being dirtied, the same way regular qemu's VirtIO devices
do.
This commit only exposes basic SVQ allocation and free. Next patches of
the series add functionality like notifications and buffers forwarding.
