Subject: [PATCH 0/9] Refine virtio mapping API

Hi all:

Virtio used to be coupled with DMA API. This works fine for the device
that do real DMA but not the others. For example, VDUSE nees to craft
with DMA API in order to let the virtio-vdpa driver to work.

This series tries to solve this issue by introducing the mapping API
in the virtio core. So transport like vDPA can implement their own
mapping logic without the need to hack with DMA API. The mapping API
are abstracted with a new map operations in order to be re-used by
transprot or device. So device like VDUSE can implement its own
mapping loigc.

Please review.

Thanks

  virtio_ring: constify virtqueue pointer for DMA helpers
  virtio_ring: switch to use dma_{map|unmap}_page()
  virtio: rename dma helpers
  virtio: rename dma_dev to map_token
  virtio_ring: rename dma_handle to map_handle
  virtio: introduce map ops in virtio core
  vdpa: rename dma_dev to map_token
  vdpa: introduce map ops
  vduse: switch to use virtio map API instead of DMA API
