vhost: convert pre sorted vhost memory array to interval tree
Current pre-sorted memory region array has some limitations for future
device IOTLB conversion:
1) need extra work for adding and removing a single region, and it's
expected to be slow because of sorting or memory re-allocation.
2) need extra work of removing a large range which may intersect
several regions with different size.
3) need trick for a replacement policy like LRU
To overcome the above shortcomings, this patch convert it to interval
tree which can easily address the above issue with almost no extra
work.
The patch could be used for:
- Extend the current API and only let the userspace to send diffs of
memory table.
- Simplify Device IOTLB implementation.
