(this is a resend of this patch. Originally sent last year, but post
appears to have been lost)
This change fixes two bugs in the VMCI host driver related to mapping
the notify boolean from user space into kernel space:
- the actual UVA was rounded up to the next page boundary - resulting
in memory corruption in the calling process whenever notifications
would be signalled. This has been fixed by just removing the
PAGE_ALIGN part, since get_user_pages_fast can figure this out on
its own
- the mapped page wasn't stored anywhere, so it wasn't unmapped and
put back when a VMCI context was destroyed. Fixed this by
remembering the page.

This patch adds support for virtual IOMMU to the vmci module. We switch
to DMA consistent mappings for guest queuepair and doorbell pages that
are passed to the device. We still allocate each page individually,
since there's no guarantee that we'll get a contiguous block of physical
for an entire queuepair (especially since we allow up to 128 MiB!).
Also made the split between guest and host in the kernelIf struct much
clearer. Now it's obvious which fields are which.
