It's possible to have much more hugepage backed memory regions
than what vhost-kernel supports due to the memory hotplug, which
may cause problems. A better solution is to have the virtio-user
pass all the memory ranges reserved by DPDK to vhost-kernel.

Doesn't that assume single file segments mode?

This is to find out the VA ranges reserved by memory subsystem.
Why does it need to assume single file segments mode?

If you are not in single-file segments mode, each individual page in a 
VA-contiguous area will be behind a different fd - so it will be part of 
a different region, would it not?

Above code is for vhost-kernel. Kernel doesn't need the
fds to get the access to virtio-user process's memory.
Kernel just needs to know the mappings between GPA (guest
physical address) and VA (virtio-user's virtual address).
