Under nested IOMMU translation, userspace owns the stage-1 translation
table (e.g. the stage-1 page table of Intel VT-d or the context table of
ARM SMMUv3, and etc.). Stage-1 translation tables are vendor specific, and
need to be compatible with the underlying IOMMU hardware. Hence, userspace
should know the IOMMU hardware capability before creating and configuring
the stage-1 translation table to kernel.
This adds IOMMU_GET_HW_INFO ioctl to query the IOMMU hardware information
(a.k.a capability) for a given device. The returned data is vendor
specific, userspace needs to decode it with the structure by the output
@out_data_type field.
As only physical devices have IOMMU hardware, so this will return error if
the given device is not a physical device.
