Subject: [PATCH v5 1/4] uio: add ioctl support

Add the ability for underlying device drivers to register the ioctl
commands. This is useful when some interaction with the user space
beyond sysfs capabilities is required, e.g. query the interrupt mode
or bind eventfd to interrupt notifications (similarly to vfio ioctl
VFIO_DEVICE_SET_IRQS).
