37b96a4931 uio_hv_generic: support sub-channels
Use sysfs to allow supporting sub-channels. The userspace application
makes request to host to create sub-channels and the UIO kernel
driver populates the sysfs per-channel directory with a binary
attribute file that can be used to read/write ring.

ca3cda6fcf uio_hv_generic: add rescind support
When host rescinds the device, the UIO driver will clear the interrupt
state and notify application. The read (or write) on the interrupt FD
will then fail with -EIO. This is simpler than adding lots extra uevent
stuff inside UIO.
