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.

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).

Move the declarations of functions from vboxguest_utils.c which are only
meant for vboxguest internal use from include/linux/vbox_utils.h to
drivers/virt/vboxguest/vboxguest_core.h.

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.
