This series introduces a new vIOMMU infrastructure and related ioctls.

IOMMUFD has been using the HWPT infrastructure for all cases, including a
nested IO page table support. Yet, there're limitations for an HWPT-based
structure to support some advanced HW-accelerated features, such as CMDQV
on NVIDIA Grace, and HW-accelerated vIOMMU on AMD. Even for a multi-IOMMU
environment, it is not straightforward for nested HWPTs to share the same
parent HWPT (stage-2 IO pagetable), with the HWPT infrastructure alone: a
parent HWPT typically hold one stage-2 IO pagetable and tag it with only
one ID in the cache entries. When sharing one large stage-2 IO pagetable
across physical IOMMU instances, that one ID may not always be available
across all the IOMMU instances. In other word, it's ideal for SW to have
a different container for the stage-2 IO pagetable so it can hold another
ID that's available.

For this "different container", add vIOMMU, an additional layer to hold
extra virtualization information:

The vIOMMU object should be seen as a slice of a physical IOMMU instance
that is passed to or shared with a VM. That can be some HW/SW resources:
 - Security namespace for guest owned ID, e.g. guest-controlled cache tags
 - Access to a sharable nesting parent pagetable across physical IOMMUs
 - Virtualization of various platforms IDs, e.g. RIDs and others
 - Delivery of paravirtualized invalidation
 - Direct assigned invalidation queues
 - Direct assigned interrupts
 - Non-affiliated event reporting

On a multi-IOMMU system, the vIOMMU object must be instanced to the number
of the physical IOMMUs that are passed to (via devices) a guest VM, while
being able to hold the shareable parent HWPT. Each vIOMMU then just needs
to allocate its own individual ID to tag its own cache:
                     ----------------------------
 ----------------    |         |  paging_hwpt0  |
 | hwpt_nested0 |--->| viommu0 ------------------
 ----------------    |         |      IDx       |
                     ----------------------------
                     ----------------------------
 ----------------    |         |  paging_hwpt0  |
 | hwpt_nested1 |--->| viommu1 ------------------
 ----------------    |         |      IDy       |
                     ----------------------------

As an initial part-1, add IOMMUFD_CMD_VIOMMU_ALLOC ioctl for an allocation
only. And implement it in arm-smmu-v3 driver as a real world use case.

More vIOMMU-based structs and ioctls will be introduced in the follow-up
series to support vDEVICE, vIRQ (vEVENT) and vQUEUE objects. Although we
repurposed the vIOMMU object from an earlier RFC, just for a referece:

Just holding multiple IDs doesn't require a different container. This is
just a side effect when vIOMMU will be required for other said reasons.

If we have to put more words here I'd prefer to adding a bit more for
CMDQV which is more compelling. not a big deal though.

This would be an even that is not a connected to a device

For instance a CMDQ experienced a problem.
