Introduce a new IOMMUFD_OBJ_VDEVICE to represent a physical device (struct device) against a vIOMMU (struct iommufd_viommu) object in a VM. This vDEVICE object (and its structure) holds all the infos and attributes in the VM, regarding the device related to the vIOMMU. As an initial patch, add a per-vIOMMU virtual ID. This can be: - Virtual StreamID on a nested ARM SMMUv3, an index to a Stream Table - Virtual DeviceID on a nested AMD IOMMU, an index to a Device Table - Virtual RID on a nested Intel VT-D IOMMU, an index to a Context Table Potentially, this vDEVICE structure would hold some vData for Confidential Compute Architecture (CCA). Use this virtual ID to index an "vdevs" xarray that belongs to a vIOMMU object. Add a new ioctl for vDEVICE allocations. Since a vDEVICE is a connection of a device object and an iommufd_viommu object, take two refcounts in the ioctl handler.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
