Introduce a new iommu op to get the IOMMU hardware capabilities for iommufd. This information will be used by any vIOMMU driver which is owned by userspace. This op chooses to make the special parameters opaque to the core. This suits the current usage model where accessing any of the IOMMU device special parameters does require a userspace driver that matches the kernel driver. If a need for common parameters, implemented similarly by several drivers, arises then there's room in the design to grow a generic parameter set as well. No wrapper API is added as it is supposed to be used by iommufd only. Different IOMMU hardware would have different hardware information. So the information reported differs as well. To let the external user understand the difference, enum iommu_hw_info_type is defined. For the iommu drivers that are capable to report hardware information, it should have a unique iommu_hw_info_type and return to caller. For the driver doesn't report hardware information, caller just uses IOMMU_HW_INFO_TYPE_NONE if a type is required.

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.
