Add io_zcrx_area that represents a region of userspace memory that is used for zero copy. During ifq registration, userspace passes in the uaddr and len of userspace memory, which is then pinned by the kernel. Each net_iov is mapped to one of these pages. The freelist is a spinlock protected list that keeps track of all the net_iovs/pages that aren't used. For now, there is only one area per ifq and area registration happens implicitly as part of ifq registration. There is no API for adding/removing areas yet. The struct for area registration is there for future extensibility once we support multiple areas and TCP devmem.

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.
