DMA logging allows a device to internally record what DMAs the device is
initiating and report them back to userspace. It is part of the VFIO
migration infrastructure that allows implementing dirty page tracking
during the pre copy phase of live migration. Only DMA WRITEs are logged,
and this API is not connected to VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE_MIG_DEVICE_STATE.
This patch introduces the DMA logging involved uAPIs.
It uses the FEATURE ioctl with its GET/SET/PROBE options as of below.
It exposes a PROBE option to detect if the device supports DMA logging.
It exposes a SET option to start device DMA logging in given IOVAs
ranges.
It exposes a SET option to stop device DMA logging that was previously
started.
It exposes a GET option to read back and clear the device DMA log.
Extra details exist as part of vfio.h per a specific option.

+ * DMA that the device initiates inside the range will be logged by the device

+ *
+ * page_size is an input that hints what tracking granularity the device
+ * should try to achieve. If the device cannot do the hinted page size then

+ * On output the device will return the page size it selected.

+ * The core kernel code guarantees to support by minimum num_ranges that fit
+ * into a single kernel page. User space can try higher values but should give
+ * up if the above can't be achieved as of some driver limitations.
+ *
+ * A single call to start device DMA logging can be issued and a matching stop
+ * should follow at the end. Another start is not allowed in the meantime.
