To be able to manage buffers inside a shared memory provided
by a VM via a vhost-user interface, we cannot rely on the fact
that buffers are located in a pre-defined memory area and use
a base address and a 32bit offset to address them.

We need a 64bit address, so replace struct desc by struct iovec
and update range checking.

  This series of patches adds vhost-user support to
passt
 and then allows passt to connect to QEMU network backend using
 virtqueue rather than a socket.
 
 With QEMU, rather than using to connect:
 
   -netdev stream,id=s,server=off,addr.type=unix,addr.path=/tmp/passt_1.socket
 
 we will use:
 
   -chardev socket,id=chr0,path=/tmp/passt_1.socket
   -netdev vhost-user,id=netdev0,chardev=chr0
   -device virtio-net,netdev=netdev0
   -object memory-backend-memfd,id=memfd0,share=on,size=$RAMSIZE
   -numa node,memdev=memfd0
 
 The memory backend is needed to share data between passt and QEMU. 
I just got the tests from 8/8 hanging like this (display with >= 212
columns):

...that is, in passt_vu_in_ns/udp, on the basic "UDP/IPv4: host to guest"
test, the client is already done, but the server gets nothing. It doesn't
look like a race condition in the test itself, because if I re-run the
client manually the server is still stuck, but I didn't really investigate,
yet.

The server is just waiting for data:

$ ssh -F /tmp/passt-tests-KLvyGO/passt_in_ns/context_guest.ssh guest sh
cd /proc
cat 562/cmdline
socat-uUDP6-LISTEN:10001,null-eofOPEN:test.bin,create,trunc

  This series of patches adds vhost-user support to
passt
 and then allows passt to connect to QEMU network backend using
 virtqueue rather than a socket.
 
 With QEMU, rather than using to connect:
 
   -netdev stream,id=s,server=off,addr.type=unix,addr.path=/tmp/passt_1.socket
 
 we will use:
 
   -chardev socket,id=chr0,path=/tmp/passt_1.socket
   -netdev vhost-user,id=netdev0,chardev=chr0
   -device virtio-net,netdev=netdev0
   -object memory-backend-memfd,id=memfd0,share=on,size=$RAMSIZE
   -numa node,memdev=memfd0
 
 The memory backend is needed to share data between passt and QEMU.
 
 Performance comparison between "-netdev stream" and "-netdev
vhost-user": 
On my setup, with a few tweaks (don't ask me why... we should figure
out eventually):

I'm getting an even bigger improvement in throughput (and also
