Introduce a new DMA handle (DMAH) object along with its corresponding allocation and deallocation APIs. This DMAH object encapsulates attributes intended for use in DMA transactions. While its initial purpose is to support TPH functionality, it is designed to be extensible for future features such as DMA PCI multipath, PCI UIO configurations, PCI traffic class selection, and more. Further details: ---------------- We ensure that a caller requesting a DMA handle for a specific CPU ID is permitted to be scheduled on it. This prevent a potential security issue where a non privilege user may trigger DMA operations toward a CPU that it's not allowed to run on. We manage reference counting for the DMAH object and its consumers (e.g., memory regions) as will be detailed in subsequent patches in the series.

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.
