Today there is a global limit of pages mapped via /dev/xen/gntdev set
to 1 million pages per default. There is no reason why that limit is
existing, as total number of grant mappings is limited by the
hypervisor anyway and preferring kernel mappings over userspace ones
doesn't make sense. It should be noted that the gntdev device is
usable by root only.
Additionally checking of that limit is fragile, as the number of pages
to map via one call is specified in a 32-bit unsigned variable which
isn't tested to stay within reasonable limits (the only test is the
value to be <= zero, which basically excludes only calls without any
mapping requested). So trying to map e.g. 0xffff0000 pages while
already nearly 1000000 pages are mapped will effectively lower the
global number of mapped pages such that a parallel call mapping a
reasonable amount of pages can succeed in spite of the global limit
being violated.
So drop the global limit and introduce per call limit instead. This
per call limit (default: 65536 grant mappings) protects against
allocating insane large arrays in the kernel for doing a hypercall
which will fail anyway in case a user is e.g. trying to map billions
of pages.

gntdev simply wants to monitor a specific VMA for any notifier events,
this can be done straightforwardly using mmu_interval_notifier_insert()
over the VMA's VA range.
The notifier should be attached until the original VMA is destroyed.
It is unclear if any of this is even sane, but at least a lot of duplicate
code is removed.

Add UAPI and IOCTLs for dma-buf grant device driver extension:
the extension allows userspace processes and kernel modules to
use Xen backed dma-buf implementation. With this extension grant
references to the pages of an imported dma-buf can be exported
for other domain use and grant references coming from a foreign
domain can be converted into a local dma-buf for local export.
Implement basic initialization and stubs for Xen DMA buffers'
support.

This is in preparation for adding support of DMA buffer
functionality: make map/unmap related code and structures, used
privately by gntdev, ready for dma-buf extension, which will re-use
these. Rename corresponding structures as those become non-private
to gntdev now.
