Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/2] vfio: Include no-iommu mode

There is really no way to safely give a user full access to a PCI
without an IOMMU to protect the host from errant DMA.  There is also
no way to provide DMA translation, for use cases such as devices
assignment to virtual machines.  However, there are still those users
that want userspace drivers under those conditions.  The UIO driver
exists for this use case, but does not provide the degree of device
access and programming that VFIO has.  In an effort to avoid code
duplication, this introduces a No-IOMMU mode for VFIO.

This mode requires enabling CONFIG_VFIO_NOIOMMU and loading the vfio
module with the option "enable_unsafe_pci_noiommu_mode".  This should
make it very clear that this mode is not safe.  In this mode, there is
no support for unprivileged users, CAP_SYS_ADMIN is required for
access to the necessary dev files.  Mixing no-iommu and secure VFIO is
also unsupported, as are any VFIO IOMMU backends other than the
vfio-noiommu backend.  Furthermore, unsafe group files are relocated
to /dev/vfio-noiommu/.  Upon successful loading in this mode, the
kernel is tainted due to the dummy IOMMU put in place.  Unloading of
the module in this mode is also unsupported and will BUG due to the
lack of support for unregistering an IOMMU for a bus type.
