(CC's trimmed).
You Acked that commit :(
At a glance, the only way to drive the vmw_vmci device is through
net/vmw_vsock/vmci_transport.c, so without NET it's useless? But let's
keep it neat anyway. This was compiletested with CONFIG_VMCI,
CONFIG_DMA_ENGINE and !CONFIG_NET.
Thanks,
Rusty.

Subject: [PATCH] Hoist memcpy_fromiovec/memcpy_toiovec into lib/
ERROR: "memcpy_fromiovec" [drivers/vhost/vhost_scsi.ko] undefined!
That function is only present with CONFIG_NET. Turns out that
crypto/algif_skcipher.c also uses that outside net, but it actually
needs sockets anyway.
In addition, commit 6d4f0139d642c45411a47879325891ce2a7c164a added
CONFIG_NET dependency to CONFIG_VMCI for memcpy_toiovec, so hoist
that function and revert that commit too.
socket.h already include uio.h, so no callers *need* updating,
though I update the obvious ones.
