vfio: powerpc/spapr: Support Dynamic DMA windows
This adds create/remove window ioctls to create and remove DMA windows. sPAPR defines a Dynamic DMA windows capability which allows para-virtualized guests to create additional DMA windows on a PCI bus. The existing linux kernels use this new window to map the entire guest memory and switch to the direct DMA operations saving time on map/unmap requests which would normally happen in a big amounts. This adds 2 ioctl handlers - VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_TCE_CREATE and VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_TCE_REMOVE - to create and remove windows. Up to 2 windows are supported now by the hardware and by this driver. This changes VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_TCE_GET_INFO handler to return additional information such as a number of supported windows and maximum number levels of TCE tables. DDW is added as a capability, not as a SPAPR TCE IOMMU v2 unique feature as we still want to support v2 on platforms which cannot do DDW for the sake of TCE acceleration in KVM (coming soon).
