Virglrender got a new API that allows mapping host blobs at a given
memory address using MAP_FIXED mmap flag [1]. Usage of this new API brings
major performance and stability improvement for venus and drm native contexts,
see commit message of the RFC patch for details.
Sending early to collect review feeback and have patch prepared by the
time new version of libvirglrenderer will be released with the stabilized
API.

Changelog:
v6: - Updated comment for virtio_gpu_virgl_reset(), removing part
telling that reset at "runtime" is unexpected and removing
excessive error message about a failed reset. Requested by
Akihiko Odaki.
v5: - Switched to use error_setg_errno() for qemu_ram_mmap() error
handling, as was suggested Akihiko Odaki.
- Added r-b from Alex Bennée to the first patch.
- Moved hostmem mapping offset validation to upper function as
was suggested by Alex Bennée.
- Dropped all patches and changes that made funcs to return -1
since it was rejected by Alex Bennée. Refactoring can be done
later on in a separate patchset.
- Extended clarifying comment of virtio_gpu_virgl_reset().
v4: - Addressed v3 review comments from Akihiko Odaki.
- Dropped patch making resource_unmap() error reported as a host
failure instead of guest and added patch improving resource_map_blob()
error reporting.
- Re-added CONFIG_WIN32 checks.
- Added clarifying comment to virtio_gpu_virgl_reset() RE unsupported
context restoring.
v3: - Addressed v2 review comments from Akihiko Odaki.
- Droped check for CONFIG_WIN32. My current understanding that
MAP_FIXED is supported by Cygwin.
- Added new patches resetting virgl resources, validating hostmem
offset and improving error-handlings.
- Added r-b from Akihiko Odaki to the frist patch and t-b from
Yiwei Zhang to the map_fixed patch.
v2: - Addressed v1 review comments from Akihiko Odaki
- Added patch that removes unnecessary memory_region_set_enabled(),
suggested by Akihiko Odaki
