iommufd: File descriptor, context, kconfig and makefiles
This is the basic infrastructure of a new miscdevice to hold the iommufd
IOCTL API.
It provides:
- A miscdevice to create file descriptors to run the IOCTL interface over
- A table based ioctl dispatch and centralized extendable pre-validation
step
- An xarray mapping userspace ID's to kernel objects. The design has
multiple inter-related objects held within in a single IOMMUFD fd
- A simple usage count to build a graph of object relations and protect
against hostile userspace racing ioctls
The only IOCTL provided in this patch is the generic 'destroy any object
by handle' operation.
