Yi Liu 8b6f173a4c vfio: Add cdev for vfio_device
This adds cdev support for vfio_device. It allows the user to directly
open a vfio device w/o using the legacy container/group interface, as a
prerequisite for supporting new iommu features like nested translation
and etc.

The device fd opened in this manner doesn't have the capability to access
the device as the fops open() doesn't open the device until the successful
VFIO_DEVICE_BIND_IOMMUFD ioctl which will be added in a later patch.

With this patch, devices registered to vfio core would have both the legacy
group and the new device interfaces created.

- group interface : /dev/vfio/$groupID
- device interface: /dev/vfio/devices/vfioX - normal device
		    ("X" is a unique number across vfio devices)

For a given device, the user can identify the matching vfioX by searching
the vfio-dev folder under the sysfs path of the device. Take PCI device
(0000:6a:01.0) as an example, /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:6a\:01.0/vfio-dev/vfioX
implies the matching vfioX under /dev/vfio/devices/, and vfio-dev/vfioX/dev
contains the major:minor number of the matching /dev/vfio/devices/vfioX.
The user can get device fd by opening the /dev/vfio/devices/vfioX.

The vfio_device cdev logic in this patch:
*) __vfio_register_dev() path ends up doing cdev_device_add() for each
   vfio_device if VFIO_DEVICE_CDEV configured.
*) vfio_unregister_group_dev() path does cdev_device_del();

cdev interface does not support noiommu devices, so VFIO only creates the
legacy group interface for the physical devices that do not have IOMMU.
noiommu users should use the legacy group interface.

The VFIO device cdev is another way for userspace to get device
access. Userspace gets device fd by opening device cdev under
/dev/vfio/devices/vfioX, and then bind the device fd with an iommufd
to set up secure DMA context for device access. This interface does
not support noiommu.

The VFIO container is the classic interface to VFIO for establishing

manage the mappings.

bool "VFIO No-IOMMU support"
help
VFIO is built on the ability to isolate devices using the IOMMU.
Only with an IOMMU can userspace access to DMA capable devices be
considered secure. VFIO No-IOMMU mode enables IOMMU groups for
devices without IOMMU backing for the purpose of re-using the VFIO
infrastructure in a non-secure mode. Use of this mode will result
in an unsupportable kernel and will therefore taint the kernel.
Device assignment to virtual machines is also not possible with
this mode since there is no IOMMU to provide DMA translation.
If you don't know what to do here, say N.
