udmabuf builds without it, but if userspace can not create memfd
handles in the first place it is rather pointless to include it,
except for test builds.

A driver to let userspace turn memfd regions into dma-bufs.
Use case: Allows qemu create dmabufs for the vga framebuffer or
virtio-gpu ressources. Then they can be passed around to display
those guest things on the host. To spice client for classic full
framebuffer display, and hopefully some day to wayland server for
seamless guest window display.

SW_SYNC allows to run tests on the sync_file framework via debugfs on
<debugfs>/sync/sw_sync
Opening and closing the file triggers creation and release of a sync
timeline. To create fences on this timeline the SW_SYNC_IOC_CREATE_FENCE
ioctl should be used. To increment the timeline value use SW_SYNC_IOC_INC.
Also it exports Sync information on
<debugfs>/sync/info

We've got a complaint saying that the description was quite obtuse and
indeed it was. This patch tries to improve it.

sync_file is useful to connect one or more fences to the file. The file is
used by userspace to track fences between drivers that share DMA bufs.
