[RFC PATCH 1/5] vfio: Add UAPI for ZONE_DEVICE-backed P2P registration

[Pranjal Shrivastava]

Introduce VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE_P2P_REGISTER to the VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE
ioctl. This feature allows a privileged userspace process to register
a specific PCI BAR with the kernel's PCI P2P DMA provider framework.

Unlike the standard VFIO dmabuf exporter, this feature leverages the
pci-p2pdma infrastructure to manufacture ZONE_DEVICE struct pages for
the BAR.

Standard VFIO mmap() is not supported for BARs registered via this
interface. Users are instead expected to use the native p2pmem sysfs
interface for memory allocation and management.
