Subject: [RFC 1/2] dma-buf: Introduce dma buffer sharing mechanism

This is the first step in defining a dma buffer sharing mechanism.

A new buffer object dma_buf is added, with operations and API to allow easy
sharing of this buffer object across devices.

The framework allows:
- a new buffer-object to be created with fixed size.
- different devices to 'attach' themselves to this buffer, to facilitate
  backing storage negotiation, using dma_buf_attach() API.
- association of a file pointer with each user-buffer and associated
   allocator-defined operations on that buffer. This operation is called the
   'export' operation.
- this exported buffer-object to be shared with the other entity by asking for
   its 'file-descriptor (fd)', and sharing the fd across.
- a received fd to get the buffer object back, where it can be accessed using
   the associated exporter-defined operations.
- the exporter and user to share the scatterlist using get_scatterlist and
   put_scatterlist operations.

Atleast one 'attach()' call is required to be made prior to calling the
get_scatterlist() operation.

Couple of building blocks in get_scatterlist() are added to ease introduction
of sync'ing across exporter and users, and late allocation by the exporter.

mmap() file operation is provided for the associated 'fd', as wrapper over the
optional allocator defined mmap(), to be used by devices that might need one.

More details are there in the documentation patch.

This is based on design suggestions from many people at the mini-summits[1],
most notably from Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>, Rob Clark <rob@...com> and
Daniel Vetter <daniel@...ll.ch>.

The implementation is inspired from proof-of-concept patch-set from
Tomasz Stanislawski <t.stanislaws@...sung.com>, who demonstrated buffer sharing
between two v4l2 devices. [2]
