## AF_XDP

XDP socket(AF_XDP) is an excellent bypass kernel network framework. The zero
copy feature of xsk (XDP socket) needs to be supported by the driver. The
performance of zero copy is very good. mlx5 and intel ixgbe already support
this feature, This patch set allows virtio-net to support xsk's zerocopy xmit
feature.

At present, we have completed some preparation:

1. vq-reset (virtio spec and kernel code)
2. virtio-core premapped dma
3. virtio-net xdp refactor

So it is time for Virtio-Net to complete the support for the XDP Socket
Zerocopy.

Virtio-net can not increase the queue num at will, so xsk shares the queue with
kernel.

This patch set includes some refactor to the virtio-net to let that to support
AF_XDP.

## About virtio premapped mode

The current configuration sets the virtqueue (vq) to premapped mode,
implying that all buffers submitted to this queue must be mapped ahead
of time. This presents a challenge for the virtnet send queue (sq): the
virtnet driver would be required to keep track of dma information for vq
size * 17, which can be substantial. However, if the premapped mode were
applied on a per-buffer basis, the complexity would be greatly reduced.
With AF_XDP enabled, AF_XDP buffers would become premapped, while kernel
skb buffers could remain unmapped.

We can distinguish them by sg_page(sg), When sg_page(sg) is NULL, this
indicates that the driver has performed DMA mapping in advance, allowing
the Virtio core to directly utilize sg_dma_address(sg) without
conducting any internal DMA mapping. Additionally, DMA unmap operations
for this buffer will be bypassed.

## performance

ENV: Qemu with vhost-user(polling mode).
Host CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8163 CPU @ 2.50GHz

But AF_XDP consumes more CPU for tx and rx napi(100% and 86%).

Please review.

Thanks.
