This requires qemu to advertise notifier_multiplier = 4 to guest, it has
several implications:
- guest may think control virtqueue sit in the same page then we can't
trap access to control virtqueue, qemu may lose the state of the device
- it requires the destination to have exact the same queue_notify_off
and notifier_multiplier in order to let migration to work
So for doorbell mapping itself, we can support the mapping of doorbells
at once which may occupy one or more pages, but it may bring troubles
for other features.

The page per vq option provides extra flexibility. Note that it's the
layout seen by guest, so actually for hardware vendor, the most easy way
is to:
- use a single doorbell register for all virtqueues except for the
control virtqueue (driver can differ queue index by the value wrote by
the driver)
- do not share the page with other registers
In this way, it doesn't require much BAR space and we can still:
- map doorbell separately to guest: guest may see a page per vq doorbell
layout but in fact all those pages are mapped into the same page
- trap the control virtqueue, (don't do mmap for control vq)
Thanks
