[PATCH v3 0/8] vfio: relax the vIOMMU check

[Zhenzhong Duan <zhenzhong.duan@intel.com>]

Hi,

This series relax the vIOMMU check and allows live migration with vIOMMU
without VFs using device dirty tracking. It's rewritten based on first 4
patches of [1] from Joao.

Currently what block us is the lack of dirty bitmap query with iommufd
before unmap. By adding that query and handle some corner case we can
relax the check.

Based on vfio-next branch:

patch1-2: add dirty bitmap query with iommufd
patch3:   a renaming cleanup
patch4-5: unmap_bitmap optimization
patch6:   fix large iommu notification triggered unmap_bitmap failure
patch7:   add a blocker if VM memory is really quite large for unmap_bitmap
patch8:   relax vIOMMU check


We tested VM live migration (running QAT workload in VM) with QAT
device passthrough, below matrix configs:
1.Scalable mode vIOMMU + IOMMUFD cdev mode
2.Scalable mode vIOMMU + legacy VFIO mode
3.legacy mode vIOMMU + IOMMUFD cdev mode
4.legacy mode vIOMMU + legacy VFIO mode

Changelog:
v3:
- return bitmap query failure to fail migration (Avihai)
- refine patch7, set IOMMUFD backend 'dirty_pgsizes' and 'max_dirty_bitmap_size' (Cedric)
- refine patch7, calculate memory limit instead of hardcode 8TB (Liuyi)
- refine commit log (Cedric, Liuyi)

v2:
- add backend_flag parameter to pass DIRTY_BITMAP_NO_CLEAR (Joao, Cedric)
- add a cleanup patch to rename vfio_dma_unmap_bitmap (Cedric)
- add blocker if unmap_bitmap limit check fail (Liuyi)
