[PATCH v3 02/21] drm/i915/gvt: subsitute kvm_read/write_guest with vfio_iova_rw

[Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com>]

From: Yan Zhao <yan.y.zhao@intel.com>

As a device model, it is better to read/write guest memory using vfio
interface, so that vfio is able to maintain dirty info of device IOVAs.

Compared to CPU side interfaces kvm_read/write_guest(), vfio_iova_rw()
has ~600 cycles more overhead on average.
-------------------------------------
|    interface     | avg cpu cycles |
|-----------------------------------|
| kvm_write_guest  |     1546       |
| ----------------------------------|
| kvm_read_guest   |     686        |
|-----------------------------------|
| vfio_iova_rw(w)  |     2233       |
|-----------------------------------|
| vfio_iova_rw(r)  |     1262       |
-------------------------------------

Comparison of benchmarks scores are as blow:
---------------------------------------------------------
|  avg score  | kvm_read/write_guest   | vfio_iova_rw   |
---------------------------------------------------------
|   Glmark2   |         1132           |      1138.2    |
---------------------------------------------------------
|  Lightsmark |        61.558          |      61.538    |
|--------------------------------------------------------
|  OpenArena  |        142.77          |      136.6     |
---------------------------------------------------------
|   Heaven    |         698            |      686.8     |
--------------------------------------------------------
No obvious performance downgrade found.
