iommu: Add APIs for multiple domains per device

Sharing a physical PCI device in a finer-granularity way
is becoming a consensus in the industry. IOMMU vendors
are also engaging efforts to support such sharing as well
as possible. Among the efforts, the capability of support
finer-granularity DMA isolation is a common requirement
due to the security consideration. With finer-granularity
DMA isolation, subsets of a PCI function can be isolated
from each others by the IOMMU. As a result, there is a
request in software to attach multiple domains to a physical
PCI device. One example of such use model is the Intel
Scalable IOV [1] [2]. The Intel vt-d 3.0 spec [3] introduces
the scalable mode which enables PASID granularity DMA
isolation.

This adds the APIs to support multiple domains per device.
In order to ease the discussions, we call it 'a domain in
auxiliary mode' or simply 'auxiliary domain' when multiple
domains are attached to a physical device.

The APIs include:

* iommu_dev_has_feature(dev, IOMMU_DEV_FEAT_AUX)
  - Detect both IOMMU and PCI endpoint devices supporting
    the feature (aux-domain here) without the host driver
    dependency.

* iommu_dev_feature_enabled(dev, IOMMU_DEV_FEAT_AUX)
  - Check the enabling status of the feature (aux-domain
    here). The aux-domain interfaces are available only
    if this returns true.

* iommu_dev_enable/disable_feature(dev, IOMMU_DEV_FEAT_AUX)
  - Enable/disable device specific aux-domain feature.

* iommu_aux_attach_device(domain, dev)
  - Attaches @domain to @dev in the auxiliary mode. Multiple
    domains could be attached to a single device in the
    auxiliary mode with each domain representing an isolated
    address space for an assignable subset of the device.

* iommu_aux_detach_device(domain, dev)
  - Detach @domain which has been attached to @dev in the
    auxiliary mode.

* iommu_aux_get_pasid(domain, dev)
  - Return ID used for finer-granularity DMA translation.
    For the Intel Scalable IOV usage model, this will be
    a PASID. The device which supports Scalable IOV needs
    to write this ID to the device register so that DMA
    requests could be tagged with a right PASID prefix.

This has been updated with the latest proposal from Joerg
posted here [5].
