This patch introduces a new bus operation to allow the vDPA bus driver
to associate an ASID to a virtqueue group.

So in case of virtio_net, I would expect that all the data virtqueues
will be associated with the same address space identifier. Moreover,
this assignment should be provided before the set_map call that provides
the iotlb for the address space, correct?

Right.

I will add the codes to do this in the next version. It should be more 
explicit than have this assumption by default.

I think it's better not have this limitation, note that set_map() now 
takes a asid argument.

So for hardware if the associated as is changed, the driver needs to 
program the hardware to switch to the new mapping.

Does this work for mlx5?

Will fix.

So in theory we can have several asid's (for different virtqueues), each
one should be followed by a specific set_map call. If this is so, how do
I know if I met all the conditions run my driver? Maybe we need another
callback to let the driver know it should not expect more set_maps().

This should work similarly as in the past. Two parts of the work is 
expected to be done by the driver:

1) store the mapping somewhere (e.g hardware) during set_map()
2) associating mapping with a specific virtqueue

The only difference is that more than one mapping is used now.

For the issue of more set_maps(), driver should be always ready for the 
new set_maps() call instead of not expecting new set_maps() since guest 
memory topology could be changed due to several reasons.

Qemu or vhost-vDPA will try their best to avoid the frequency of 
set_maps() for better performance (e.g through batched IOTLB updating). 
E.g there should be at most one set_map() during one time of guest booting.

Thanks

ok, so like today, I will always get DRIVER_OK after I got all the
set_maps(), right?
