[ Changelog:

     v2:
	*) We now re-use the vmfd as the binding token, instead of creating
           a new separate namespace
	*) Added support for switch_to(mm), which is much faster
	*) Added support for memslot-cache for exploiting slot locality
	*) Added support for scatter-gather access
	*) Added support for xioevent interface

      v1:
        *) Initial release
]

This series is included in upstream AlacrityVM and is well tested and
known to work properly.  Comments?

Kind Regards,
-Greg
