The current model of memory mapping at the back-end works fine where a standard call to mmap() (for the respective file descriptor) is enough before the front-end can start accessing the guest memory. There are other complex cases though where the back-end needs more information and simple mmap() isn't enough. For example Xen, a type-1 hypervisor, currently supports memory mapping via two different methods, foreign-mapping (via /dev/privcmd) and grant-dev (via /dev/gntdev). In both these cases, the back-end needs to call mmap() and ioctl(), with extra information like the Xen domain-id of the guest whose memory we are trying to map. Add a new protocol feature, 'VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_XEN_MMAP', which lets the back-end know about the additional memory mapping requirements. When this feature is negotiated, the front-end will send the additional information within the memory regions themselves.
