[PATCH v2 0/2] hw/nvme: Add shadow doorbell buffer support |

This patch adds shadow doorbell buffer support in NVMe 1.3 to QEMU
NVMe. The Doorbell Buffer Config admin command is implemented for the
guest to enable shadow doobell buffer. When this feature is enabled, each
SQ/CQ is associated with two buffers, i.e., Shadow Doorbell buffer and
EventIdx buffer. According to the Spec, each queue's doorbell register
is only updated when the Shadow Doorbell buffer value changes from being
less than or equal to the value of the corresponding EventIdx buffer
entry to being greater than that value. Therefore, the number of MMIO's
on the doorbell registers is greatly reduced.
This patch is adapted from Huaicheng Li's patch[1] in 2018.
