iommufd: Add kAPI toward external drivers for kernel access
Kernel access is the mode that VFIO "mdevs" use. In this case there is no
struct device and no IOMMU connection. iommufd acts as a record keeper for
accesses and returns the actual struct pages back to the caller to use
however they need. eg with kmap or the DMA API.
Each caller must create a struct iommufd_access with
iommufd_access_create(), similar to how iommufd_device_bind() works. Using
this struct the caller can access blocks of IOVA using
iommufd_access_pin_pages() or iommufd_access_rw().
Callers must provide a callback that immediately unpins any IOVA being
used within a range. This happens if userspace unmaps the IOVA under the
pin.
The implementation forwards the access requests directly to the iopt
infrastructure that manages the iopt_pages_access.
