This series tries to access virtqueue metadata through kernel virtual
address instead of copy_user() friends since they had too much
overheads like checks, spec barriers or even hardware feature
toggling.

Will review, thanks!
One questions that comes to mind is whether it's all about bypassing
stac/clac.  Could you please include a performance comparison with
nosmap?

On machine without SMAP (Sandy Bridge):

Before: 4.8Mpps

After: 5.2Mpps

On machine with SMAP (Broadwell):

Before: 5.0Mpps

After: 6.1Mpps

No smap: 7.5Mpps


Thanks
