This is the basic infrastructure of a new miscdevice to hold the iommufd IOCTL API. It provides: - A miscdevice to create file descriptors to run the IOCTL interface over - A table based ioctl dispatch and centralized extendable pre-validation step - An xarray mapping userspace ID's to kernel objects. The design has multiple inter-related objects held within in a single IOMMUFD fd - A simple usage count to build a graph of object relations and protect against hostile userspace racing ioctls The only IOCTL provided in this patch is the generic 'destroy any object by handle' operation.

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 Restructured Text 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.
