Subject: [PATCH v2 4/4] KVM: add scatterlist support to xinterface
This allows a scatter-gather approach to IO, which will be useful for
building high performance interfaces, like zero-copy and low-latency
copy (avoiding multiple calls to copy_to/from).
The interface is based on the existing scatterlist infrastructure. The
caller is expected to pass in a scatterlist with its "dma" field
populated with valid GPAs. The xinterface will then populate each
entry by translating the GPA to a page*.
The caller signifies completion by simply performing a put_page() on
each page returned in the list.
