platform/x86: dell-smbios: Add filtering support
When a userspace interface is introduced to dell-smbios filtering
support will be used to make sure that userspace doesn't make calls
deemed unsafe or that can cause the kernel drivers to get out of
sync.
A blacklist is provided for the following:
- Items that are in use by other kernel drivers
- Items that are deemed unsafe (diagnostics, write-once, etc)
- Any items in the blacklist will be rejected.
Following that a whitelist is provided as follows:
- Each item has an associated capability. If a userspace interface
accesses this item, that capability will be tested to filter
the request.
- If the process provides CAP_SYS_RAWIO the whitelist will be
overridden.
When an item is not in the blacklist, or whitelist and the process
is run with insufficient capabilities the call will be rejected.
