Subject: [PATCH vhost v4 00/15] vdpa/mlx5: Add support for resumable vqs

Add support for resumable vqs in the mlx5_vdpa driver. This is a
firmware feature that can be used for the following benefits:
- Full device .suspend/.resume.
- .set_map doesn't need to destroy and create new vqs anymore just to
  update the map. When resumable vqs are supported it is enough to
  suspend the vqs, set the new maps, and then resume the vqs.

The first patch exposes relevant bits for the feature in mlx5_ifc.h.
That means it needs to be applied to the mlx5-vhost tree [0] first. Once
applied there, the change has to be pulled from mlx5-vhost into the
vhost tree and only then the remaining patches can be applied. Same flow
as the vq descriptor mappings patchset [1].

The second part implements the vdpa backend feature support to allow
vq state and address changes when the device is in DRIVER_OK state and
suspended.

The third part adds support for seletively modifying vq parameters. This
is needed to be able to use resumable vqs.

Then the actual support for resumable vqs is added.

The last part of the series introduces reference counting for mrs which
is necessary to avoid freeing mkeys too early or leaking them.

* Changes in v4:
- Added vdpa backend feature support for changing vq properties in
  DRIVER_OK when device is suspended. Added support in the driver as
  well.
- Dropped Acked-by for the patches that had the tag mistakenly
  added.

* Changes in v3:
- Faulty version. Please ignore.

* Changes in v2:
- Added mr refcounting patches.
- Deleted unnecessary patch: "vdpa/mlx5: Split function into locked and
  unlocked variants"
- Small print improvement in "Introduce per vq and device resume"
  patch.
- Patch 1/7 has been applied to mlx5-vhost branch.
