Jason Gunthorpe 2ff4bed7fe 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.
