This patch adds a new miscdevice to expose some Ultravisor functions to userspace. Userspace can send IOCTLs to the uvdevice that will then emit a corresponding Ultravisor Call and hands the result over to userspace. The uvdevice is available if the Ultravisor Call facility is present. Userspace can call the Retrieve Attestation Measurement Ultravisor Call using IOCTLs on the uvdevice. The uvdevice will do some sanity checks first. Then, copy the request data to kernel space, build the UVCB, perform the UV call, and copy the result back to userspace.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
