An architecture may restrict host access to guest memory,
e.g. IBM s390 Secure Execution or AMD SEV.

Provide a new Kconfig entry the architecture can select,
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_RESTRICTED_VIRTIO_MEMORY_ACCESS, when it provides
the arch_has_restricted_virtio_memory_access callback to advertise
to VIRTIO common code when the architecture restricts memory access
from the host.

The common code can then fail the probe for any device where
VIRTIO_F_ACCESS_PLATFORM is required, but not set.

This change adds a new flavor of dma-bufs that can be used by virtio
drivers to share exported objects. A virtio dma-buf can be queried by
virtio drivers to obtain the UUID which identifies the underlying
exported object.

<title>virtio: hint if callbacks surprisingly might sleep</title>

<id>ab7a2375fb8e83f8744c34442f476fa5a9df5e35</id>
<content type='text'>
A virtio transport is free to implement some of the callbacks in
virtio_config_ops in a matter that they cannot be called from
atomic context (e.g. virtio-ccw, which maps a lot of the callbacks
to channel I/O, which is an inherently asynchronous mechanism).
This can be very surprising for developers using the much more
common virtio-pci transport, just to find out that things break
when used on s390.

The documentation for virtio_config_ops now contains a comment
explaining this, but it makes sense to add a might_sleep() annotation
to various wrapper functions in the virtio core to avoid surprises
later.

Note that annotations are NOT added to two classes of calls:
- direct calls from device drivers (all current callers should be
  fine, however)
- calls which clearly won't be made from atomic context (such as
  those ultimately coming in via the driver core)

In order to make caller do a simple cleanup, we split device_register
into device_initialize and device_add. device_initialize always succeeds,
so the caller can always use put_device when register_virtio_device faild.

Some drivers can't support all features in all configurations.  At the
moment we blindly set FEATURES_OK and later FAILED.  Support this better
by adding a callback drivers can use to do some early checks.

For XDP we will need to reset the queues to allow for buffer headroom
to be configured. In order to do this we need to essentially run the
freeze()/restore() code path. Unfortunately the locking requirements
between the freeze/restore and reset paths are different however so
we can not simply reuse the code.

This patch refactors the code path and adds a reset helper routine.

The virtio core uses a static ida named virtio_index_ida for
assigning index numbers to virtio devices during registration.
The ida core may allocate some internal idr cache layers and
an ida bitmap upon any ida allocation, and all these layers are
truely freed only upon the ida destruction. The virtio_index_ida
is not destroyed at present, leading to a memory leak when using
the virtio core as a module and atleast one virtio device is
registered and unregistered.

Fix this by invoking ida_destroy() in the virtio core module
