Sometimes users need to be aware when a vfio_group attaches to a
KVM or detaches from it. KVM already calls get/put method from vfio to
manipulate the vfio_group reference, it can notify vfio_group in
a similar way.

If there are no assigned devices, the guest PAT are not providing
any useful information and can be overridden to writeback; VMX
always does this because it has the "IPAT" bit in its extended
page table entries, but SVM does not have anything similar.
Hook into VFIO and legacy device assignment so that they
provide this information to KVM.

/me got confused between the kernel and QEMU. In the kernel, you can
only have one module_init function, and it will prevent unloading the
module unless you also have the corresponding module_exit function.
So, commit 80ce163972 (KVM: VFIO: register kvm_device_ops dynamically,
2014-09-02) broke unloading of the kvm module, by adding a module_init
function and no module_exit.
Repair it by making kvm_vfio_ops_init weak, and checking it in
kvm_init.

Now that we have a dynamic means to register kvm_device_ops, use that
for the VFIO kvm device, instead of relying on the static table.
This is achieved by a module_init call to register the ops with KVM.

VFIO now has support for using the IOMMU_CACHE flag and a mechanism
for an external user to test the current operating mode of the IOMMU.
Add support for this to the kvm-vfio pseudo device so that we only
register noncoherent DMA when necessary.

Building vfio.o triggers a GCC warning (when building for 32 bits x86):
arch/x86/kvm/../../../virt/kvm/vfio.c: In function 'kvm_vfio_set_group':
arch/x86/kvm/../../../virt/kvm/vfio.c:104:22: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Wint-to-pointer-cast]
void __user *argp = (void __user *)arg;
^
Silence this warning by casting arg to unsigned long.
argp's current type, "void __user *", is always casted to "int32_t
__user *". So its type might as well be changed to "int32_t __user *".

We currently use some ad-hoc arch variables tied to legacy KVM device
assignment to manage emulation of instructions that depend on whether
non-coherent DMA is present. Create an interface for this, adapting
legacy KVM device assignment and adding VFIO via the KVM-VFIO device.
For now we assume that non-coherent DMA is possible any time we have a
VFIO group. Eventually an interface can be developed as part of the
VFIO external user interface to query the coherency of a group.

So far we've succeeded at making KVM and VFIO mostly unaware of each
other, but areas are cropping up where a connection beyond eventfds
and irqfds needs to be made. This patch introduces a KVM-VFIO device
that is meant to be a gateway for such interaction. The user creates
the device and can add and remove VFIO groups to it via file
descriptors. When a group is added, KVM verifies the group is valid
and gets a reference to it via the VFIO external user interface.
