virt: acrn: Introduce interfaces for MMIO device passthrough
MMIO device passthrough enables an OS in a virtual machine to directly
access a MMIO device in the host. It promises almost the native
performance, which is required in performance-critical scenarios of
ACRN.
HSM provides the following ioctls:
- Assign - ACRN_IOCTL_ASSIGN_MMIODEV
Pass data struct acrn_mmiodev from userspace to the hypervisor, and
inform the hypervisor to assign a MMIO device to a User VM.
- De-assign - ACRN_IOCTL_DEASSIGN_PCIDEV
Pass data struct acrn_mmiodev from userspace to the hypervisor, and
inform the hypervisor to de-assign a MMIO device from a User VM.
These new APIs will be used by user space code vm_assign_mmiodev and
vm_deassign_mmiodev in
