vfio: Add cdev for vfio_device
This adds cdev support for vfio_device. It allows the user to directly open a vfio device w/o using the legacy container/group interface, as a prerequisite for supporting new iommu features like nested translation and etc. The device fd opened in this manner doesn't have the capability to access the device as the fops open() doesn't open the device until the successful VFIO_DEVICE_BIND_IOMMUFD ioctl which will be added in a later patch. With this patch, devices registered to vfio core would have both the legacy group and the new device interfaces created. - group interface : /dev/vfio/$groupID - device interface: /dev/vfio/devices/vfioX - normal device ("X" is a unique number across vfio devices) For a given device, the user can identify the matching vfioX by searching the vfio-dev folder under the sysfs path of the device. Take PCI device (0000:6a:01.0) as an example, /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:6a\:01.0/vfio-dev/vfioX implies the matching vfioX under /dev/vfio/devices/, and vfio-dev/vfioX/dev contains the major:minor number of the matching /dev/vfio/devices/vfioX. The user can get device fd by opening the /dev/vfio/devices/vfioX. The vfio_device cdev logic in this patch: *) __vfio_register_dev() path ends up doing cdev_device_add() for each vfio_device if VFIO_DEVICE_CDEV configured. *) vfio_unregister_group_dev() path does cdev_device_del(); cdev interface does not support noiommu devices, so VFIO only creates the legacy group interface for the physical devices that do not have IOMMU. noiommu users should use the legacy group interface.
