There is one race issue between mevent callback (which is called
in mevent_dispatch thread) and mevent_delete (which could be called
in dev thread). And the callback is called after mevent_delete.
libevent have the exactly same issue. The issue is decripted here:
https://github.com/libevent/libevent/blob/master/whatsnew-2.1.txt
The fixing is:
We introduce a teardown callback to mevent and make sure there is
no race issue between callback and teardown call.
This patch updates the mevent API and the caller as well.

There are 2 eventfds for one virtqueue, one is for kick and the other
is for notify. eventfd used for kick is associated with a PIO/MMIO
region. eventfd used for notify is associated with a MSIx/INTx. The
eventfd pair is registered to VHM thru VHM char dev.
VHM irqfd currently only support MSIx. If INTx is used, vhost proxy
uses mevent to poll the call fd from vhost then inject interrupt to
guest.

vhost kernel driver needs the information of memory mapping between
GPA and the virtual addresses in device model process. This is
required for virtqueue related operations. This patch gets memory
mapping information from vmctx then conveys to vhost.
