commit 5d9a07b0 ("vhost: relax used
address alignment") fixed the alignment for the used virtual address,
but not for the physical address used for logging.

That's a mistake: alignment should clearly be the same for virtual and
physical addresses,

However QEMU crashes if it's used with more than ~60

memory regions.

with large number of memory regions we could end up with
high order allocations and kmalloc could fail if
host is under memory pressure.
Considering that memory regions array is used on hot path
try harder to allocate using kmalloc and if it fails resort
to vmalloc.
It's still better than just failing vhost_set_memory() and
causing guest crash due to it when a new memory hotplugged
to guest.

I'll still look at QEMU side solution to reduce amount of
memory regions it feeds to vhost to make things even better,
but it doesn't hurt for kernel to behave smarter and don't
crash older QEMU's which could use large amount of memory
regions.

For default region layouts performance stays the same
as linear search i.e. it takes around 210ns average for
translate_desc() that inlines find_region().

But it scales better with larger amount of regions,
235ns BS vs 300ns LS with 55 memory regions
and it will be about the same values when allowed number
of slots is increased to 509 like it has been done in kvm.

This patch brings cross-endian support to vhost when used to implement
legacy virtio devices. Since it is a relatively rare situation, the
feature availability is controlled by a kernel config option (not set
by default).

The vq->is_le boolean field is added to cache the endianness to be
used for ring accesses. It defaults to native endian, as expected
by legacy virtio devices. When the ring gets active, we force little
endian if the device is modern. When the ring is deactivated, we
revert to the native endian default.

If cross-endian was compiled in, a vq->user_be boolean field is added
so that userspace may request a specific endianness. This field is
used to override the default when activating the ring of a legacy
device. It has no effect on modern devices.

virtio 1.0 only requires used address to be 4 byte aligned,
vhost required 8 bytes (size of vring_used_elem).
Fix up vhost to match that.

Additionally, while vhost correctly requires 8 byte
alignment for log, it's unconnected to used ring:
it's a consequence that log has u64 entries.
Tweak code to make that clearer.

Most places in vhost can use __get/__put_user rather than
get/put_user since addresses are pre-validated.
This should be good for performance, but this also
will help make code sparse-clean: get/put_user macros
don't play well with __virtioXX bitwise tags.
Switch to get/put_user to __ variants everywhere in vhost.
There's one exception - for consistency switch that
as well, and add an explicit access_ok check.

commit 2ae76693b8bcabf370b981cd00c36cd41d33fabc
    vhost: replace rcu with mutex
replaced rcu sync for memory accesses with VQ mutex locl/unlock.
This is correct since all accesses are under VQ mutex, but incomplete:
we still do useless rcu lock/unlock operations, someone might copy this
code into some other context where this won't be right.
This use of RCU is also non standard and hard to understand.
Let's copy the pointer to each VQ structure, this way
the access rules become straight-forward, and there's
no need for RCU anymore.

Currently, the polling errors were ignored, which can lead following issues:

- vhost remove itself unconditionally from waitqueue when stopping the poll,
  this may crash the kernel since the previous attempt of starting may fail to
  add itself to the waitqueue
- userspace may think the backend were successfully set even when the polling
  failed.

Solve this by:

- check poll->wqh before trying to remove from waitqueue
- report polling errors in vhost_poll_start(), tx_poll_start(), the return value
  will be checked and returned when userspace want to set the backend

After this fix, there still could be a polling failure after backend is set, it
will addressed by the next patch.

The vhost work queue allows processing to be done in vhost worker thread
context, which uses the owner process mm.  Access to the vring and guest
memory is typically only possible from vhost worker context so it is
useful to allow work to be queued directly by users.

Currently vhost_net only uses the poll wrappers which do not expose the
work queue functions.  However, for tcm_vhost (vhost_scsi) it will be
necessary to queue custom work.
