There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having a
dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code should
always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The older style of
one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2].

This frontend driver implements MEI hw interface based on virtio
framework to let MEI driver work without changes under virtualization.
It requires a backend service in the ACRN device-model on the service
OS side to make it work. The backend service will emulate mei routing
and assign vtags for each mei vritio device.

The backend service is available in ACRN device-model at github.
For more information, please refer to https://projectacrn.org

The ACRN virtio sub device id for MEI is is 0x8602.

This IOCTL is used to associate the current file descriptor
with a FW Client (given by UUID), and virtual tag (vtag).
The IOCTL opens a communication channel between a host client
and a FW client on a tagged channel. From this point on,
every reader  and write will communicate with the associated
FW client on the tagged channel. Upon close() the communication
is terminated.

The IOCTL argument is a struct with a union that contains
the input parameter and the output parameter for this IOCTL.

The input parameter is UUID of the FW Client, a vtag [0,255]
The output parameter is the properties of the FW client

Clients that do not support tagged connection
will respond with -EOPNOTSUPP
