vhost: introduce async enqueue registration API
Performing large memory copies usually takes up a major part of CPU
cycles and becomes the hot spot in vhost-user enqueue operation. To
offload the large copies from CPU to the DMA devices, asynchronous
APIs are introduced, with which the CPU just submits copy jobs to
the DMA but without waiting for its copy completion. Thus, there is
no CPU intervention during data transfer. We can save precious CPU
cycles and improve the overall throughput for vhost-user based
applications. This patch introduces registration/un-registration
APIs for vhost async data enqueue operation. Together with the
registration APIs implementations, data structures and the prototype
of the async callback functions required for async enqueue data path
are also defined.
