This is preparation for adding vfio device cdev support. vfio device cdev requires: 1) A per device file memory to store the kvm pointer set by KVM. It will be propagated to vfio_device:kvm after the device cdev file is bound to an iommufd. 2) A mechanism to block device access through device cdev fd before it is bound to an iommufd. To address the above requirements, this adds a per device file structure named vfio_device_file. For now, it's only a wrapper of struct vfio_device pointer. Other fields will be added to this per file structure in future commits.

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.
