CUSE: implement CUSE - Character device in Userspace

Browse Source 
CUSE enables implementing character devices in userspace.  With recent
additions of ioctl and poll support, FUSE already has most of what's
necessary to implement character devices.  All CUSE has to do is
bonding all those components - FUSE, chardev and the driver model -
nicely.

When client opens /dev/cuse, kernel starts conversation with
CUSE_INIT.  The client tells CUSE which device it wants to create.  As
the previous patch made fuse_file usable without associated
fuse_inode, CUSE doesn't create super block or inodes.  It attaches
fuse_file to cdev file->private_data during open and set ff->fi to
NULL.  The rest of the operation is almost identical to FUSE direct IO
case.

Each CUSE device has a corresponding directory /sys/class/cuse/DEVNAME
(which is symlink to /sys/devices/virtual/class/DEVNAME if
SYSFS_DEPRECATED is turned off) which hosts "waiting" and "abort"
among other things.  Those two files have the same meaning as the FUSE
control files.

The only notable lacking feature compared to in-kernel implementation
is mmap support.

/*
* CUSE: Character device in Userspace
*
* Copyright (C) 2008-2009 SUSE Linux Products GmbH
* Copyright (C) 2008-2009 Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
*
* This file is released under the GPLv2.
*
* CUSE enables character devices to be implemented from userland much
* like FUSE allows filesystems. On initialization /dev/cuse is
* created. By opening the file and replying to the CUSE_INIT request
* userland CUSE server can create a character device. After that the
* operation is very similar to FUSE.
*
* A CUSE instance involves the following objects.
*
* cuse_conn : contains fuse_conn and serves as bonding structure
* channel : file handle connected to the userland CUSE server
* cdev : the implemented character device
* dev : generic device for cdev
*
* Note that 'channel' is what 'dev' is in FUSE. As CUSE deals with
* devices, it's called 'channel' to reduce confusion.
*
* channel determines when the character device dies. When channel is
* closed, everything begins to destruct. The cuse_conn is taken off
* the lookup table preventing further access from cdev, cdev and
* generic device are removed and the base reference of cuse_conn is
* put.
*
* On each open, the matching cuse_conn is looked up and if found an
* additional reference is taken which is released when the file is
* closed.
