Currently the doorbell is relayed via eventfd which may have significant overhead because of the cost of vmexits or syscall. This patch introduces mmap() based doorbell mapping which can eliminate the overhead caused by vmexit or syscall. To ease the userspace modeling of the doorbell layout (usually virtio-pci), this patch starts from a doorbell per page model. Vhost-vdpa only support the hardware doorbell that sit at the boundary of a page and does not share the page with other registers. Doorbell of each virtqueue must be mapped separately, pgoff is the index of the virtqueue. This allows userspace to map a subset of the doorbell which may be useful for the implementation of software assisted virtqueue (control vq) in the future.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
