misc: mic: SCIF remote memory map/unmap interface
This patch implements the SCIF mmap/munmap interface. A similar
capability is provided to kernel clients via the
scif_get_pages()/scif_put_pages() APIs. The SCIF mmap interface
queries to check if a window is valid and then remaps the local
virtual address to the remote physical pages. These mappings are
subsequently destroyed upon receipt of the VMA close operation or
scif_get_pages(). This functionality allows SCIF users to directly
access remote memory without any driver interaction once the mappings
are created thereby providing bare-metal PCIe latency. These mappings
are zapped to avoid RMA accesses from user space, if a Coprocessor is
reset.
