Changpeng Liu 4c3e257b5e vhost-user: add new vhost user messages to support virtio config space
Add VHOST_USER_GET_CONFIG/VHOST_USER_SET_CONFIG messages which can be
used for live migration of vhost user devices, also vhost user devices
can benefit from the messages to get/set virtio config space from/to the
I/O target. For the purpose to support virtio config space change,
VHOST_USER_SLAVE_CONFIG_CHANGE_MSG message is added as the event notifier
in case virtio config space change in the slave I/O target.

Stefan Hajnoczi c3d331d28f vhost-user: document memory accesses
The vhost-user protocol specification does not define "guest address"
and "user address".  It does not explain how to access memory given such
addresses.

This patch explains how memory access works, including the IOTLB.

Felipe Franciosi 5df04f1762 vhost-user: fix legacy cross-endian configurations
Currently, vhost-user does not implement any means for notifying the
backend about guest endianess. This commit introduces a new message
called VHOST_USER_SET_VRING_ENDIAN which is analogous to the ioctl()
called VHOST_SET_VRING_ENDIAN used for kernel vhost backends. Such
message is necessary for backends supporting legacy (pre-1.0) virtio
devices running in big-endian guests.
