[RFC 0/8] blkio: add libblkio BlockDriver |

This patch series adds a QEMU BlockDriver for libblkio
(https://gitlab.com/libblkio/libblkio/), a library for high-performance block
device I/O. Currently libblkio has basic io_uring support with additional
drivers in development.
The first patch adds the core BlockDriver and most of the libblkio API usage.
The remainder of the patch series reworks the existing QEMU bdrv_register_buf()
API so virtio-blk emulation efficiently map guest RAM for libblkio - some
libblkio drivers require that I/O buffer memory is pre-registered (think VFIO,
vhost, etc).
This block driver is incomplete because bdrv_refresh_limits() and several other
APIs are not yet implemented. You can already boot a guest though. Once the
missing gaps have been filled in I will send a non-RFC patch series.
Regarding the design: each libblkio driver is a separately named BlockDriver.
That means there is an "io_uring" BlockDriver and not a generic "libblkio"
BlockDriver. In the future there will be additional BlockDrivers, all defined
in block/blkio.c. This way QAPI and open parameters are type-safe and mandatory
parameters can be checked by QEMU.
Stefan Hajnoczi (8):
blkio: add io_uring block driver using libblkio
numa: call ->ram_block_removed() in ram_block_notifer_remove()
block: pass size to bdrv_unregister_buf()
block: add BDRV_REQ_REGISTERED_BUF request flag
block: add BlockRAMRegistrar
stubs: add memory_region_from_host() and memory_region_get_fd()
blkio: implement BDRV_REQ_REGISTERED_BUF optimization
virtio-blk: use BDRV_REQ_REGISTERED_BUF optimization hint
