v2:
- Add BDRV_REQ_REGISTERED_BUF to bs.supported_write_flags [Stefano]
- Use new blkioq_get_num_completions() API
- Implement .bdrv_refresh_limits()

This patch series adds a QEMU BlockDriver for libblkio
(https://gitlab.com/libblkio/libblkio/), a library for high-performance block
device I/O. Currently libblkio has basic io_uring support with additional
drivers in development.

The first patch adds the core BlockDriver and most of the libblkio API usage.
The remainder of the patch series reworks the existing QEMU bdrv_register_buf()
API so virtio-blk emulation efficiently map guest RAM for libblkio - some
libblkio drivers require that I/O buffer memory is pre-registered (think VFIO,
vhost, etc).

This block driver is functional enough to boot guests. See the BlockDriver
struct in block/blkio.c for a list of APIs that still need to be implemented
(write_zeroes and discard are in development, the others are not). I'm also
waiting for libblkio to define queuing behavior and iovec lifetime requirements
before sending this as a non-RFC patch.

Regarding the design: each libblkio driver is a separately named BlockDriver.
That means there is an "io_uring" BlockDriver and not a generic "libblkio"
BlockDriver. In the future there will be additional BlockDrivers, all defined
in block/blkio.c. This way QAPI and open parameters are type-safe and mandatory
parameters can be checked by QEMU.

Stefan Hajnoczi (8):
  blkio: add io_uring block driver using libblkio
  numa: call ->ram_block_removed() in ram_block_notifer_remove()
  block: pass size to bdrv_unregister_buf()
  block: add BDRV_REQ_REGISTERED_BUF request flag
  block: add BlockRAMRegistrar
  stubs: add memory_region_from_host() and memory_region_get_fd()
  blkio: implement BDRV_REQ_REGISTERED_BUF optimization
  virtio-blk: use BDRV_REQ_REGISTERED_BUF optimization hint
