The basic idea is that vhost passes iocb to recvmsg and backend
completes the iocb to signal that data is ready. That completion could
be in interrupt context and so we need to switch to workqueue to handle
the event, it is true, but the code to do this would live in vhost.c or
net.c.
With this structure your device won't depend on
vhost, and can go under drivers/net/, opening up possibility
to use it for zero copy without vhost in the future.

Well, that was just a thought. I guess there needs to be some way to
recover outstanding requests at least for cleanup when device is closed?
Maybe we could put in a special request marked "flush" and wait until it
completes?
> But what does reread mean?
If we want to know the physical address of the iovec, we can look in the
virtqueue to find it. I do this in one go when building up the iovec
now, but logged mode is not a common case so it is not a must.
