This patch set extends libvhost-user and vhost-user-bridge
to support the host notifier [1] feature in vhost user.

A new API is added for libvhost-user to support setting
host notifier for each queue:

/**
 * vu_set_queue_host_notifier:
 * @dev: a VuDev context
 * @vq: a VuVirtq queue
 * @fd: a file descriptor
 * @size: host page size
 * @offset: notifier offset in @fd file
 *
 * Set queue's host notifier. This function may be called several
 * times for the same queue. If called with -1 @fd, the notifier
 * is removed.
 */
bool vu_set_queue_host_notifier(VuDev *dev, VuVirtq *vq, int fd,
                                int size, int offset);

A new option (-H) is added for vhost-user-bridge to enable
the host notifier. It's pretty simple to test:

# Launch vhost-user-bridge with host notifier enabled
$ make tests/vhost-user-bridge
$ ./tests/vhost-user-bridge -H

# Launch QEMU on another terminal
$ ./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 \
        -smp 4 -m 1024M -cpu host -enable-kvm \
        -hda "$DISK" \
        -object memory-backend-file,id=mem,size=1024M,mem-path=/dev/shm,share=on \
        -numa node,memdev=mem -mem-prealloc \
        -chardev socket,id=char0,path=/tmp/vubr.sock \
        -netdev type=vhost-user,id=net0,chardev=char0 \
        -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=net0,page-per-vq=on

More details can be found from the patches.

Thanks!
