Add some new interfaces for ACRN hypervisor HSM driver:
  - MMIO device passthrough
  - virtual device creating/destroying
  - platform information fetching from the hypervisor

ChangeLog:
v4:
 - remove "RFC" from Subject field.

v3:
 - remove "platform information fetching from the hypervisor". What platform
   information needs to be fetched has not been finally decided. Will send tis
   patch out once that has been decided.
 - add comments where is the userspace code that uses this new api:
   - MMIO device passthrough
     (a) assign a MMIO device to a User VM
     https://github.com/projectacrn/acrn-hypervisor/blob/master/devicemodel/core/vmmapi.c#L562
     (b) de-assign a MMIO device from a User VM
     https://github.com/projectacrn/acrn-hypervisor/blob/master/devicemodel/core/vmmapi.c#L568
   - virtual device creating/destroying
     (a) create a virtual device for a User VM
     https://github.com/projectacrn/acrn-hypervisor/blob/master/devicemodel/core/vmmapi.c#L606
     (b) destroy a virtual device of a User VM
     https://github.com/projectacrn/acrn-hypervisor/blob/master/devicemodel/core/vmmapi.c#L612

v2:
 - remove "stable@vger.kernel.org" in the cc list since this patch set
   doesn't fix any anything, it's not for Linux -stable releases.

From: Shuo Liu <shuo.a.liu@intel.com>

MMIO device passthrough enables an OS in a virtual machine to directly
access a MMIO device in the host. It promises almost the native
performance, which is required in performance-critical scenarios of
ACRN.

HSM provides the following ioctls:
  - Assign - ACRN_IOCTL_ASSIGN_MMIODEV
    Pass data struct acrn_mmiodev from userspace to the hypervisor, and
    inform the hypervisor to assign a MMIO device to a User VM.

  - De-assign - ACRN_IOCTL_DEASSIGN_PCIDEV
    Pass data struct acrn_mmiodev from userspace to the hypervisor, and
    inform the hypervisor to de-assign a MMIO device from a User VM.

From: Shuo Liu <shuo.a.liu@intel.com>

The ACRN hypervisor can emulate a virtual device within hypervisor for a
Guest VM. The emulated virtual device can work without the ACRN
userspace after creation. The hypervisor do the emulation of that device.

To support the virtual device creating/destroying, HSM provides the
following ioctls:
  - ACRN_IOCTL_CREATE_VDEV
    Pass data struct acrn_vdev from userspace to the hypervisor, and inform
    the hypervisor to create a virtual device for a User VM.
  - ACRN_IOCTL_DESTROY_VDEV
    Pass data struct acrn_vdev from userspace to the hypervisor, and inform
    the hypervisor to destroy a virtual device of a User VM.

Can you put these comments in the changelog text?  Stuff in the 0/X
email never shows up in the changelog at all.

What is the endian of these fields?

Please always specify them.
