Addressing Mode
56+
------------------
57+
GVE supports two addressing modes: QPL and RDA.
58+
QPL ("queue-page-list") mode communicates data through a set of
59+
pre-registered pages.
60+
61+
For RDA ("raw DMA addressing") mode, the set of pages is dynamic.
62+
Therefore, the packet buffers can be anywhere in guest memory.
