[v2,1/3] dma-buf: Add ioctl to query mmap info

From: Rob Clark <robdclark@chromium.org>

This is a fairly narrowly focused interface, providing a way for a VMM
in userspace to tell the guest kernel what pgprot settings to use when
mapping a buffer to guest userspace.

For buffers that get mapped into guest userspace, virglrenderer returns
a dma-buf fd to the VMM (crosvm or qemu).  In addition to mapping the
pages into the guest VM, it needs to report to drm/virtio in the guest
the cache settings to use for guest userspace.  In particular, on some
architectures, creating aliased mappings with different cache attributes
is frowned upon, so it is important that the guest mappings have the
same cache attributes as any potential host mappings.

I think I bikeshedded this on irc already, here for the record too.

- this wont work for buffers which do change the mapping when they move
  (ttm can do that). And cros does make noises about discrete gpus I've
  heard, this matters even for you :-)
- I'm pretty sure this will put is even more onto the nasty people list
  that dma-api folks maintain, especially with passing this all to
  userspace
- follow_pte() can figure this out internally in the kernel and kvm is
  already using this, and I think doing this all internally with mmu
  notifier and what not to make sure it all stays in sync is the right
  approach. So your kvm/whatever combo should be able to figure out wth
  it's supposed to be doing.

I think if you make this a virtio special case like we've done with the
magic uuid stuff, then that would make sense. Making it a full dma-buf
interface doesn't imo.

Cheers, Daniel
