This patch triggers a segfault in testpmd when using virtio-user
(server) + vhost-user (client).
This was caught in OVS unit tests running in GHA virtual machines.
In such an env with no iommu, IOVA is forced to PA.
This can be reproduced with two testpmd in an env without iommu like a
vm, or alternatively forcing --iova-mode=pa in the cmdline:
$ rm -f vhost-user; gdb ./build/app/dpdk-testpmd -ex 'run -l 0-2
--in-memory --socket-mem=512 --single-file-segments --no-pci
--file-prefix virtio
--vdev=net_virtio_user,path=vhost-user,queues=2,server=1 -- -i'
...
EAL: Selected IOVA mode 'PA'
...
vhost_user_start_server(): (vhost-user) waiting for client connection...
$ ./build/app/dpdk-testpmd -l 0,3-4 --in-memory --socket-mem=512
--single-file-segments --no-pci --file-prefix vhost-user --vdev
net_vhost,iface=vhost-user,client=1 -- -i
...
EAL: Selected IOVA mode 'PA'
...
VHOST_CONFIG: (vhost-user) virtio is now ready for processing.
On the virtio-user side:

We need someone from Marvell to fix this issue.
The next option is to revert the whole series (which was discussed and
agreed before Maxime went off, in the event this series would trigger
any issue).
