Subject: [RFC 09/14] vfio/nvgrace-egm: Add chardev ops for EGM management

From: Ankit Agrawal <ankita@...dia.com>

EGM module implements the mmap file_ops to manage the usermode app's
VMA mapping to the EGM region. The appropriate region is determined
from the minor number.

Note that the EGM memory region is invisible to the host kernel as it
is not present in the host EFI map. The host Linux MM thus cannot manage
the memory, even though it is accessible on the host SPA. The EGM module
thus use remap_pfn_range() to perform the VMA mapping to the EGM region.
