Documentation: Add documentation for VDUSE Address Space IDs

Address Space IDs allows the VDUSE framework to support devices able to
expose different virtqueues to different part of the drivers.  For
example, to let QEMU handle the net device control virtqueue, so QEMU
always knows the state of the device like mac address or number of
queues enabled, while leaving the dataplane passthrough to the guest
intact.  This enables live migration.

Expands the VDUSE documentation to explain how to use the new ioctls or
the new struct members of old ioctls.

+Enabling ASID (API version 1)
+------------------------------
+
+VDUSE supports per-address-space identifiers (ASIDs) starting with API
+version 1. Set it up with ioctl(VDUSE_SET_API_VERSION) on `/dev/vduse/control`
+and pass `VDUSE_API_VERSION_1` before creating a new VDUSE instance with
+ioctl(VDUSE_CREATE_DEV).
+
+Afterwards, you can use the member asid of ioctl(VDUSE_VQ_SETUP) argument to
+select the address space of the IOTLB you are querying.  The driver could
+change the address space of any virtqueue group by using the
+VDUSE_SET_VQ_GROUP_ASID VDUSE message type, and the VDUSE instance needs to
+reply with VDUSE_REQ_RESULT_OK if it was possible to change it.
+
+Similarly, you can use ioctl(VDUSE_IOTLB_GET_FD2) to obtain the file descriptor
+describing an IOVA region of a specific ASID. Example usage:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+	static void *iova_to_va(int dev_fd, uint32_t asid, uint64_t iova,
+	                        uint64_t *len)
+	{
+		int fd;
+		void *addr;
+		size_t size;
+		struct vduse_iotlb_entry_v2 entry = { 0 };
+
+		entry.v1.start = iova;
+		entry.v1.last = iova;
+		entry.asid = asid;
+
+		fd = ioctl(dev_fd, VDUSE_IOTLB_GET_FD2, &entry);
+		if (fd < 0)
+			return NULL;
+
+		size = entry.v1.last - entry.v1.start + 1;
+		*len = entry.v1.last - iova + 1;
+		addr = mmap(0, size, perm_to_prot(entry.v1.perm), MAP_SHARED,
+			    fd, entry.v1.offset);
+		close(fd);
+		if (addr == MAP_FAILED)
+			return NULL;
+
+		/*
+		 * Using some data structures such as linked list to store
+		 * the iotlb mapping. The munmap(2) should be called for the
+		 * cached mapping when the corresponding VDUSE_UPDATE_IOTLB
+		 * message is received or the device is reset.
+		 */
+
+		return addr + iova - entry.v1.start;
