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.
