Somme applications/frameworks using DPDK allocate their own memory
for its buffers. This is the case of Seastar, and also VPP.

It is currently not possible to use Virtio-user PMD with these
applications because Virtio-user requires file descriptor for this
memory to be shared with the vhost-user backend (vDPA in our case [0]).

This series introduces a new API in EAL to register external memory
that is contiguous in both the VA and the IOVA space.

It also enables VDEVs to implement the DMA map/unmap callback, and
implement it in Virtio-user PMD.

Please note that extmem unit tests are missing. I'm working on it
and it will be in v2. Just share this v1 for early reviews.

Maxime Coquelin (4):
  eal: add new API to register contiguous external memory
  eal: allow getting memory segment FD with external memory
  bus/vdev: add DMA mapping supprt
  net/virtio: add DMA mapping callback to virtio-user
