This patch adds a pair of new ioctl commands to communicate with
user space (virtual machine hypervisor) to get and set VMID that
indicates a Virtual Machine Identifier, being used by some IOMMU
to tag TLB entries -- similar to CPU MMU, using this VMID number
allows IOMMU to invalidate at the same time TLBs of the same VM.
