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.
