Stefan Hajnoczi 185ecf40e3 dataplane: add host memory mapping code
The data plane thread needs to map guest physical addresses to host
pointers.  Normally this is done with cpu_physical_memory_map() but the
function assumes the global mutex is held.  The data plane thread does
not touch the global mutex and therefore needs a thread-safe memory
mapping mechanism.

Hostmem registers a MemoryListener similar to how vhost collects and
pushes memory region information into the kernel.  There is a
fine-grained lock on the regions list which is held during lookup and
when installing a new regions list.

When the physical memory map changes the MemoryListener callbacks are
invoked.  They build up a new list of memory regions which is finally
installed when the list has been completed.
