vfio: VFIO core

VFIO is a secure user level driver for use with both virtual machines
and user level drivers. VFIO makes use of IOMMU groups to ensure the
isolation of devices in use, allowing unprivileged user access. It's
intended that VFIO will replace KVM device assignment and UIO drivers
(in cases where the target platform includes a sufficiently capable
IOMMU).

New in this version of VFIO is support for IOMMU groups managed
through the IOMMU core as well as a rework of the API, removing the
group merge interface. We now go back to a model more similar to
original VFIO with UIOMMU support where the file descriptor obtained
from /dev/vfio/vfio allows access to the IOMMU, but only after a
group is added, avoiding the previous privilege issues with this type
of model. IOMMU support is also now fully modular as IOMMUs have
vastly different interface requirements on different platforms. VFIO
users are able to query and initialize the IOMMU model of their
choice.

Please see the follow-on Documentation commit for further description
and usage example.

+ * The NORESIZE flag indicates that the interrupt lines within the index

+ * disabling the entire index.  This is used for interrupts like PCI MSI
+ * and MSI-X where the driver may only use a subset of the available
+ * indexes, but VFIO needs to enable a specific number of vectors
+ * upfront.  In the case of MSI-X, where the user can enable MSI-X and

+ * whether to allocate the maximum supported number of vectors or tear
+ * down setup and incrementally increase the vectors as each is enabled.

+ * flags = (DATA_NONE|ACTION_UNMASK), index = 0, start = 0, count = 1.
+ *
+ * DATA_BOOL allows sparse support for the same on arrays of interrupts.

+ * data = {1,0,1}
+ *
+ * DATA_EVENTFD binds the specified ACTION to the provided __s32 eventfd.
+ * A value of -1 can be used to either de-assign interrupts if already
+ * assigned or skip un-assigned interrupts.  For example, to set an eventfd
+ * to be trigger for interrupts [0,0] and [0,2]:
+ * flags = (DATA_EVENTFD|ACTION_TRIGGER), index = 0, start = 0, count = 3,

+ *
+ * Once a signaling mechanism is set, DATA_BOOL or DATA_NONE can be used
+ * with ACTION_TRIGGER to perform kernel level interrupt loopback testing
+ * from userspace (ie. simulate hardware triggering).
+ *
+ * Setting of an event triggering mechanism to userspace for ACTION_TRIGGER
+ * enables the interrupt index for the device.  Individual subindex interrupts
+ * can be disabled using the -1 value for DATA_EVENTFD or the index can be
+ * disabled as a whole with: flags = (DATA_NONE|ACTION_TRIGGER), count = 0.
