Similar to VFIO, vDPA will go ahead an map+pin all guest memory. Memory
that used to be discarded will get re-populated and if we
discard+re-access memory after mapping+pinning, the pages mapped into the
vDPA IOMMU will go out of sync with the actual pages mapped into the user
space page tables.
Set discarding of RAM broken such that:
- virtio-mem and vhost-vdpa run mutually exclusive
- virtio-balloon is inhibited and no memory discards will get issued
In the future, we might be able to support coordinated discarding of RAM
as used by virtio-mem and already supported by vfio via the
RamDiscardManager.
