Introduce a new iommu op get

get -> to get


the IOMMU hardware capabilities for iommufd.
This information will be used by any vIOMMU driver which is owned by
userspace.

This op chooses to make the special parameters opaque to the core. This
suits the current usage model where accessing any of the IOMMU device
special parameters does require a userspace driver that matches the kernel
driver. If a need for common parameters, implemented similarly by several
drivers, arises then there is room in the design to grow a generic parameter
set as well. No warpper

warpper -> wrapper

Thanks, will update.


  API is added as it is supposed to be used by
iommufd only.

How to understand the name "iommu_device_data_type"?

This is to tell userspace which type of IOMMU the returned information
comes from, Intel VT-d, ARM or others...

Is it just refer to the driver types or it has a more generic meaning?

IOMMU driver sets this field to distinguish different IOMMU hardware.
