vfio: Include No-IOMMU mode

There is really no way to safely give a user full access to a DMA
capable device without an IOMMU to protect the host system.  There is
also no way to provide DMA translation, for use cases such as device
assignment to virtual machines.  However, there are still those users
that want userspace drivers even under those conditions.  The UIO
driver exists for this use case, but does not provide the degree of
device access and programming that VFIO has.  In an effort to avoid
code duplication, this introduces a No-IOMMU mode for VFIO.

This mode requires building VFIO with CONFIG_VFIO_NOIOMMU and enabling
the "enable_unsafe_noiommu_mode" option on the vfio driver.  This
should make it very clear that this mode is not safe.  Additionally,
CAP_SYS_RAWIO privileges are necessary to work with groups and
containers using this mode.  Groups making use of this support are
named /dev/vfio/noiommu-$GROUP and can only make use of the special
VFIO_NOIOMMU_IOMMU for the container.  Use of this mode, specifically
binding a device without a native IOMMU group to a VFIO bus driver
will taint the kernel and should therefore not be considered
supported.  This patch includes no-iommu support for the vfio-pci bus
driver only.

+	  VFIO is built on the ability to isolate devices using the IOMMU.
+	  Only with an IOMMU can userspace access to DMA capable devices be
+	  considered secure.  VFIO No-IOMMU mode enables IOMMU groups for
+	  devices without IOMMU backing for the purpose of re-using the VFIO
+	  infrastructure in a non-secure mode.  Use of this mode will result
+	  in an unsupportable kernel and will therefore taint the kernel.
+	  Device assignment to virtual machines is also not possible with
+	  this mode since there is no IOMMU to provide DMA translation.
