Userspace can make host function calls, called hgcm-calls through the
/dev/vboxguest device.
In this case we should not accept all hgcm-function-parameter-types, some
are only valid for in kernel calls.
This commit adds proper hgcm-function-parameter-type validation to the
ioctl for doing a hgcm-call from userspace.

VirtualBox 6.0.x has a new feature where the guest kernel driver passes
info about the origin of the request (e.g. userspace or kernelspace) to
the hypervisor.
If we do not pass this information then when running the 6.0.x userspace
guest-additions tools on a 6.0.x host, some requests will get denied
with a VERR_VERSION_MISMATCH error, breaking vboxservice.service and
the mounting of shared folders marked to be auto-mounted.
This commit implements passing the requestor info to the host, fixing this.

In preparation to enabling -Wimplicit-fallthrough, mark switch
cases where we are expecting to fall through.
This patch fixes the following warning:
drivers/virt/vboxguest/vboxguest_core.c: In function ‘vbg_core_ioctl’:
drivers/virt/vboxguest/vboxguest_core.c:1486:10: warning: this statement may fall through [-Wimplicit-fallthrough=]
f32bit = true;
~~~~~~~^~~~~~
drivers/virt/vboxguest/vboxguest_core.c:1489:2: note: here
case VBG_IOCTL_HGCM_CALL(0):
^~~~
Warning level 3 was used: -Wimplicit-fallthrough=3
Notice that, in this particular case, the code comment is modified
in accordance with what GCC is expecting to find.
This patch is part of the ongoing efforts to enable
-Wimplicit-fallthrough.

With the new CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_DEBUGGING option, we get a link
error in the vboxguest driver, when that fails to optimize out the
call to the compat handler:
drivers/virt/vboxguest/vboxguest_core.o: In function `vbg_ioctl_hgcm_call':
vboxguest_core.c:(.text+0x1f6e): undefined reference to `vbg_hgcm_call32'
Another compile-time check documents better what we want and avoids
the error.

This is a preparation patch for fixing issues on x86_64 virtual-machines
with more then 4G of RAM, atm we pass __GFP_DMA32 to kmalloc, but kmalloc
does not honor that, so we need to switch to get_pages, which means we
will not be able to use kfree to free memory allocated with vbg_alloc_req.
While at it also remove a comment on a vbg_alloc_req call which talks
about Windows (inherited from the vbox upstream cross-platform code).

This commit adds a driver for the Virtual Box Guest PCI device used in
Virtual Box virtual machines. Enabling this driver will add support for
Virtual Box Guest integration features such as copy-and-paste, seamless
mode and OpenGL pass-through.
This driver also offers vboxguest IPC functionality which is needed
for the vboxfs driver which offers folder sharing support.
