This new ioctl can be used by a VMM such as Qemu or other userspace
applications to create a dmabuf from a PCI device's memory regions.
The PCI device's id that the userspace app is required to provide
needs to be encoded in the format specified by the following macro
(defined in include/linux/pci.h):
define PCI_DEVID(bus, devfn) ((((u16)(bus)) << 8) | (devfn))
where devfn is defined (in include/uapi/linux/pci.h) as
define PCI_DEVFN(slot, func) ((((slot) & 0x1f) << 3) | ((func) & 0x07))
In addition to the devid, the userspace needs to include the
offsets and sizes and also the bar number as part of this request.
