Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] vfio: allow to map other memory regions

Currently it is not possible to use memory that is not owned by DPDK to
perform DMA. This scenarion might be used in vhost applications (like
SPDK) where guest send its own memory table. To fill this gap provide API to
allow registering arbitrary address in VFIO container.
