  vfio/pci: return -EFAULT if copy_to_user fails (2016-02-25 21:48:42 -0700)

VFIO updates for v4.6-rc1

Various enablers for assignment of Intel graphics devices and future
support of vGPU devices (Alex Williamson).  This includes

 - Handling the vfio type1 interface as an API rather than a specific
   implementation, allowing multiple type1 providers.

 - Capability chains, similar to PCI device capabilities, that allow
   extending ioctls.  Extensions here include device specific regions
   and sparse mmap descriptions.  The former is used to expose non-PCI
   regions for IGD, including the OpRegion (particularly the Video
   BIOS Table), and read only PCI config access to the host and LPC
   bridge as drivers often depend on identifying those devices.
   Sparse mmaps here are used to describe the MSIx vector table,
   which vfio has always protected from mmap, but never had an API to
   explicitly define that protection.  In future vGPU support this is
   expected to allow the description of PCI BARs that may mix direct
   access and emulated access within a single region.

 - The ability to expose the shadow ROM as an option ROM as IGD use
   cases may rely on the ROM even though the physical device does not
   make use of a PCI option ROM BAR.
