Gautam Dawar bda324fd03 vdpasim: control virtqueue support
This patch introduces the control virtqueue support for vDPA
simulator. This is a requirement for supporting advanced features like
multiqueue.

A requirement for control virtqueue is to isolate its memory access
from the rx/tx virtqueues. This is because when using vDPA device
for VM, the control virqueue is not directly assigned to VM. Userspace
(Qemu) will present a shadow control virtqueue to control for
recording the device states.

The isolation is done via the virtqueue groups and ASID support in
vDPA through vhost-vdpa. The simulator is extended to have:

1) three virtqueues: RXVQ, TXVQ and CVQ (control virtqueue)
2) two virtqueue groups: group 0 contains RXVQ and TXVQ; group 1
   contains CVQ
3) two address spaces and the simulator simply implements the address
   spaces by mapping it 1:1 to IOTLB.

For the VM use cases, userspace(Qemu) may set AS 0 to group 0 and AS 1
to group 1. So we have:

1) The IOTLB for virtqueue group 0 contains the mappings of guest, so
   RX and TX can be assigned to guest directly.
2) The IOTLB for virtqueue group 1 contains the mappings of CVQ which
   is the buffers that allocated and managed by VMM only. So CVQ of
   vhost-vdpa is visible to VMM only. And Guest can not access the CVQ
   of vhost-vdpa.

For the other use cases, since AS 0 is associated to all virtqueue
groups by default. All virtqueues share the same mapping by default.

To demonstrate the function, VIRITO_NET_F_CTRL_MACADDR is
implemented in the simulator for the driver to set mac address.
