At this moment the migration of net features that depends on CVQ is not
possible, as there is no reliable way to restore the device state like mac
address, number of enabled queues, etc to the destination. This is mainly
caused because the device must only read CVQ, and process all the commands
before resuming the dataplane.
This series uses the VirtIO feature _F_RING_RESET to achieve it, adding an
alternative method to late vq enabling proposed in [1][2]. It expose SVQ to
the device until it process all the CVQ messages, and then replaces the vring
for the guest's one.
As an advantage, it uses a feature well deviced in the VirtIO standard. As a
disadvantage, current HW already support the late enabling and it does not
support RING_RESET.
This patch must be applied on top of the series ("Enable vdpa net migration
with features depending on CVQ") [1][2].
The patch has been tested with vp_vdpa, but using high IOVA instead of a
sepparated ID for shadow CVQ and shadow temporal vrings.
