dm-user is a device mapper target that allows a userpsace process to
handle each incoming BIO -- essentially it's Fuse, but for the block
layer.

This has numerous issues with this, which I've enumerated via FIXMEs
scattered throughout the code. While it's obviously in no shape to be
merged, this does at least function at a basic level (the next patch has
some tests). Many of the FIXMEs are simply missing functionality, but I
wanted to send this out earlier rather than later as I have some higher
level questions:
* Does it even make sense to have this within device mapper? There's no
fundamental reason for this to be a device mapper target (ie, it could
just be its own block device), but being this does allow us to
piggyback on existing mechanisms to handle the device lifecycle.
* Is dm-user (in cooperation with the userspace daemon) responsible for
ordering flush-related BIOs with any other BIOs, or is that handled
elsewhere within the kernel?
* Is my shared target mutex legal?
* Is there any benefit to returing DM_MAPIO_KILLED as opposed to later
terminating the BIO with an IO error after it has been submitted?
Each of the above is discussed in more detail in the code.

+ * dm-user uses four structures:
+ *
+ * - "struct target", the outermost structure, corresponds to a single device
+ * mapper target. This contains the set of outstanding BIOs that have been
+ * provided by DM and are not actively being processed by the user, along
+ * with a misc device that userspace can open to communicate with the
+ * kernel. Each time userspaces opens the misc device a new channel is
+ * created.
+ * - "struct channel", which represents a single active communication channel
+ * with userspace. Userspace may choose arbitrary read/write sizes to use
+ * when processing messages, channels form these into logical accesses.
+ * When userspace responds to a full message the channel completes the BIO
+ * and obtains a new message to process from the target.
+ * - "struct message", which wraps a BIO with the additional information
+ * required by the kernel to sort out what to do with BIOs when they return
+ * from userspace.
+ * - "struct dm_user_message", which is the exact message format that
+ * userspace sees.
+ *
+ * The hot path contains three distinct operations:
+ *
+ * - user_map(), which is provided a BIO from device mapper that is queued
+ * into the target. This allocates and enqueues a new message.
+ * - dev_read(), which dequeues a message, copies it to userspace.
+ * - dev_write(), which looks up a message (keyed by sequence number) and
+ * completes the corresponding BIO.
+ *
+ * Lock ordering (outer to inner)
+ *
+ * 1) miscdevice's global lock. This is held around dev_open, so it has to be
+ * the outermost lock.
+ * 2) target->lock
+ * 3) channel->lock

+ *
+ * The best way I could come up with to fix this would be to use a

+ * relying on submission failure to indicate an unsupported type.
+ *
+ * There's two ways I can think of to fix this:
+ * - Add DM arguments that are parsed during the constructor that

+ * types supported by this target. This may make sense for things
+ * like discard, where DM can already transform the BIOs to a form

+ * and kill BIOs before marking them as submitted. My guess would
+ * be that a userspace round trip is a bad idea here, but a BPF
+ * call seems resonable.
+ *
+ * My guess is that we'd likely want to do both. The first one is easy
+ * and gives DM the proper info, so it seems better. The BPF call
+ * seems overly complex for just this, but one could imagine wanting to
+ * sometimes return _MAPPED and a BPF filter would be the way to do
+ * that.
+ *
+ * For example, in Android we have an in-kernel DM device called
+ * "dm-bow" that takes advange of some portion of the space that has
+ * been discarded on a device to provide opportunistic block-level
+ * backups. While one could imagine just implementing this entirely in
+ * userspace, that would come with an appreciable performance penalty.
+ * Instead one could keep a BPF program that forwards most accesses
+ * directly to the backing block device while informing a userspace
