  blkfront: add support for unmapped IO
  
  Using unmapped IO is really beneficial when running inside of a VM,
  since it avoids IPIs to other vCPUs in order to invalidate the
  mappings.
  
  This patch adds unmapped IO support to blkfront. The following tests
  results have been obtained when running on a Xen host without HAP:
  
  PVHVM
       3165.84 real      6354.17 user      4483.32 sys
  PVHVM with unmapped IO
       2099.46 real      4624.52 user      2967.38 sys
  
  This is because when running using shadow page tables TLB flushes and
  range invalidations are much more expensive, so using unmapped IO
  provides a very important performance boost.
