[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 00/15] Make VFIO support independent on PCI

[Jan Viktorin]

Hello,

here follows several patchs extracting the general VFIO code out of the
PCI + VFIO code base. Usually, it's just move and rename of functions.
The most complicated ones are:

* eal/linux: extract setup logic out of pci_vfio_map_resource

  - separation of some setup code out of the pci_vfio_map_resource
    (which is otherwise quite PCI-speicific)
  - it is required by the following one

* eal/linux: move global vfio_cfg to eal_vfio.c

  - moving the vfio_cfg global variable out of the eal_pci_vfio together with
    the functions working with this variable

Some patchs make just temporary changes to avoid breakages throughout the
patch set (dma mapping).

I am not sure, how exactly is the mp_sync code intended to work. Should there
be just a single socket connection (no matter how many bus-systems we support)?
I assume it works this way so I've generalized the eal_pci_vfio_mp_sync.

The vfio initialization is moved out of the rte_eal_pci_init into EAL.

The code is now prepared for adding of other infrastructures such as the SoC
that I've introduced in [1]. I've partially done this in my workspace.

The VFIO code is quite complex and written in a spaghetti style so a more
maintainance would be helpful. I've did my best to preserve the semantics
(I hope) to be 100 % the same as before.

Important: I didn't test whether it's working as I have no VFIO-enabled machine
at the moment and the SoC infra is not so ready yet.
