vDPA is a kernel framework introduced fairly recently in order to handle
devices complying with virtio specification on their datapath, while the
control path is vendor specific. For the datapath, that means the
virtqueues are handled through DMA directly between the hardware and the
guest, while the control path goes through the vDPA framework,
eventually exposed through a vhost-vdpa device.
vDPA, like VFIO, aims at achieving baremetal performance for devices
that are passed into a VM. But unlike VFIO, it provides a simpler/better
framework for achieving migration. Because the DMA accesses between the
device and the guest are going through virtio queues, migration can be
achieved way more easily, and doesn't require each device driver to
implement the migration support. In the VFIO case, each vendor is
expected to provide an implementation of the VFIO migration framework,
which makes things harder as it must be done for each and every device.
So to summarize the point is to support migration for hardware devices
through which we can achieve baremetal performances.

Given that some virtio device might need some DMA handling, we provide a
way to store this through the VirtioPciDevice layer, so that it can be
accessed when the PCI device is removed.

With the VIRTIO_F_EVENT_IDX handling now conducted inside the
virtio-queue crate it is necessary to activate the functionality on
every queue if it is negotiatated. Otherwise this leads to a failure of
the guest to signal to the host that there is something in the available
queue as the queue's internal state has not been configured correctly.

For vhost-user devices, we don't want to loose the vhost-user protocol
feature through the negotiation between guest and device. Since we know
VIRTIO has no knowledge of the vhost-user protocol feature, there is no
way it would ever be acknowledged by the guest. For that reason, we
create each vhost-user device with the set of acked features containing
the vhost-user protocol feature is this one was part of the available
list.
Having the set of acked features containing this bit allows for solving
a bug that was happening through the migration process since the
vhost-user protocol feature wasn't explicitely enabled.

Implement the VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_REPORTING feature, indicating to the
guest it can report set of free pages. A new virtqueue dedicated for
receiving the information about the free pages is created. The VMM
releases the memory by punching holes with fallocate() if the guest
memory is backed by a file, and madvise() the host about the ranges of
memory that shouldn't be needed anymore.

Adding a new parameter free_page_reporting=on|off to the balloon device
so that we can enable the corresponding feature from virtio-balloon.
Running a VM with a balloon device where this feature is enabled allows
the guest to report pages that are free from guest's perspective. This
information is used by the VMM to release the corresponding pages on the
host.

In order to clearly decouple when the migration is started compared to
when the dirty logging is started, we introduce a new method to the
Migratable trait. This clarifies the semantics as we don't end up using
start_dirty_log() for identifying when the migration has been started.
And similarly, we rely on the already existing complete_migration()
method to know when the migration has been ended.
A bug was reported when running a local migration with a vhost-user-net
device in server mode. The reason was because the migration_started
variable was never set to "true", since the start_dirty_log() function
was never invoked.

Upon the enablement of the queue by the guest, we perform a translation
of the descriptor table, the available ring and used ring addresses
prior to enabling the device itself. This only applies to the case where
the device is placed behind a vIOMMU, which is the reason why the
translation is needed. Indeed, the addresses allocated by the guest are
IOVAs which must be translated into GPAs before we can access the queue.
