This adds create/remove window ioctls to create and remove DMA windows.
sPAPR defines a Dynamic DMA windows capability which allows
para-virtualized guests to create additional DMA windows on a PCI bus.
The existing linux kernels use this new window to map the entire guest
memory and switch to the direct DMA operations saving time on map/unmap
requests which would normally happen in a big amounts.

This adds 2 ioctl handlers - VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_TCE_CREATE and
VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_TCE_REMOVE - to create and remove windows.
Up to 2 windows are supported now by the hardware and by this driver.

This changes VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_TCE_GET_INFO handler to return additional
information such as a number of supported windows and maximum number
levels of TCE tables.

DDW is added as a capability, not as a SPAPR TCE IOMMU v2 unique feature
as we still want to support v2 on platforms which cannot do DDW for
the sake of TCE acceleration in KVM (coming soon).

Changes:
v6:
* added explicit VFIO_IOMMU_INFO_DDW flag to vfio_iommu_spapr_tce_info,
it used to be page mask flags from platform code
* added explicit pgsizes field
* added cleanup if tce_iommu_create_window() failed in a middle
* added checks for callbacks in tce_iommu_create_window and remove those
from tce_iommu_remove_window when it is too late to test anyway
* spapr_tce_find_free_table returns sensible error code now
* updated description of VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_TCE_CREATE/
VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_TCE_REMOVE

v4:
* moved code to tce_iommu_create_window()/tce_iommu_remove_window()
helpers
* added docs

Doesn't this indicate a more serious issue if a user can remove windows
that they didn't create? It seems like that would open us to all sorts
> of inconsistent state, if not exploits.


The existing upstream QEMU expects the default window to exits. So there is at least one situation when there is a window which the user did not create.

1. A window can be owned by the "powernv" platform or VFIO. If it is "powernv" (old power7 IO chips) - removal of a window is not enabled, otherwise (new power8 chip) it is.

2. Old QEMU expects the default window to exist. If it is "powernv" owned window, then VFIO just reuses it, otherwise it creates one.

What is inconsistent about the state? Or I just document it in Documentation/vfio.txt and that's it?

How about >= ? Requiring == means that a new userspace that might know
about a new field added to a later kernel will break on this kernel.

Also, if DDW is not supported, you're just about to write uninitialized
kernel data to userspace :-\

if (copy_to_user((void __user *)arg, &info, minsz))


then copy_to_user(..., info.argsz) is the answer, no? I do not really want to touch the area of the struct I do not support in this call, unless there is some code guideline for ioctl implementation.
