drm/xe: Support for mmap-ing mmio regions

Allow the driver to expose hardware register spaces to userspace
through GEM objects with fake mmap offsets. This can be useful
for userspace-firmware communication, debugging, etc.

v2: Minor doc fix (CI)
v3: Enforce MAP_SHARED (Tejas)
    Add fault handler with dummy page (Tejas, Matt Auld)
    Store physical address instead of xe_mmio in the GEM object (MattB)
v4: Separate xe_mmio_gem from xe_mmio and make it private (MattB)

+ * DOC: Exposing MMIO regions to userspace
+ *
+ * In certain cases, the driver may allow userspace to mmap a portion of the hardware registers.
+ *
+ * This can be done as follows:
+ * 1. Call xe_mmio_gem_create() to create a GEM object with an mmap-able fake offset.
+ * 2. Use xe_mmio_gem_mmap_offset() on the created GEM object to retrieve the fake offset.
+ * 3. Provide the fake offset to userspace.
+ * 4. Userspace can call mmap with the fake offset. The length provided to mmap
+ *    must match the size of the GEM object.
+ * 5. When the region is no longer needed, call xe_mmio_gem_destroy() to release the GEM object.
+ *
+ * NOTE: The exposed MMIO region must be page-aligned with regards to its BAR offset and size.
+ *
+ * WARNING: Exposing MMIO regions to userspace can have security and stability implications.
+ * Make sure not to expose any sensitive registers.
