This series tries to fix various issues of vhost:

- Patch 1 adds a missing write barrier between used idx updating and
   logging.
- Patch 2-3 brings back the protection of device IOTLB through vq
   mutex, this fixes possible use after free in device IOTLB entries.
- Patch 4-7 fixes the diry page logging when device IOTLB is
   enabled. We should done through GPA instead of GIOVA, this was done
   through intorudce HVA->GPA reverse mapping and convert HVA to GPA
   during logging dirty pages.

Please consider them for -stable.

Thanks

Changes from V1:
- silent compiler warning for 32bit.
- use mutex_trylock() on slowpath instead of mutex_lock() even on fast
   path.
Hello Jason.

Look like Michael wants you to split out patch #4 and target
net-next with it.

So please do that and respin the first 3 patches here with Michael's
ACKs.

Thanks.
