So in theory we can have several asid's (for different virtqueues), each
one should be followed by a specific set_map call. If this is so, how do
I know if I met all the conditions run my driver? Maybe we need another
callback to let the driver know it should not expect more set_maps().

This should work similarly as in the past. Two parts of the work is expected
to be done by the driver:

1) store the mapping somewhere (e.g hardware) during set_map()
2) associating mapping with a specific virtqueue

The only difference is that more than one mapping is used now.

ok, so like today, I will always get DRIVER_OK after I got all the
set_maps(), right?

Yes.

Thanks

For the issue of more set_maps(), driver should be always ready for the new
set_maps() call instead of not expecting new set_maps() since guest memory
topology could be changed due to several reasons.

Qemu or vhost-vDPA will try their best to avoid the frequency of set_maps()
for better performance (e.g through batched IOTLB updating). E.g there
should be at most one set_map() during one time of guest booting.
