Well I think we can add wrappers like virtio_dma_sync and so on.
There are NOP for non-dma so passing the dma device is harmless.
Yes, please.

I am not sure I got this fully.

Are you mean this:

Then the driver must do dma operation(map and sync) by these virtio_dma_* APIs.
No care the device is non-dma device or dma device.
yes
Then the AF_XDP must use these virtio_dma_* APIs for virtio device.
We'll worry about AF_XDP when the patch is posted.
