[ Upstream commit 8bd2f71054bd0bc997833e9825143672eb7e2801 ]

These API has been introduced:

* virtqueue_dma_need_sync
* virtqueue_dma_sync_single_range_for_cpu
* virtqueue_dma_sync_single_range_for_device

These APIs can be used together with the premapped mechanism to sync the
DMA address.

[ Upstream commit b6253b4e21939f1bb54e8fdb84c23af9c3fb834a ]

Added virtqueue_dma_map_api* to map DMA addresses for virtual memory in
advance. The purpose is to keep memory mapped across multiple add/get
buf operations.

[ Upstream commit 8daafe9ebbd21a54bf91f9ff81decf215c203edd ]

This helper allows the driver change the dma mode to premapped mode.
Under the premapped mode, the virtio core do not do dma mapping
internally.

This just work when the use_dma_api is true. If the use_dma_api is false,
the dma options is not through the DMA APIs, that is not the standard
way of the linux kernel.

Introduce virtqueue_resize() to implement the resize of vring.
Based on these, the driver can dynamically adjust the size of the vring.
For example: ethtool -G.

virtqueue_resize() implements resize based on the vq reset function. In
case of failure to allocate a new vring, it will give up resize and use
the original vring.

During this process, if the re-enable reset vq fails, the vq can no
longer be used. Although the probability of this situation is not high.

The parameter recycle is used to recycle the buffer that is no longer
used.
