The HSM provides hypervisor services to the ACRN userspace. While
launching a User VM, ACRN userspace needs to allocate memory and request
the ACRN Hypervisor to set up the EPT mapping for the VM.
A mapping cache is introduced for accelerating the translation between
the Service VM kernel virtual address and User VM physical address.
>From the perspective of the hypervisor, the types of GPA of User VM can be
listed as following:
1) RAM region, which is used by User VM as system ram.
2) MMIO region, which is recognized by User VM as MMIO. MMIO region is
used to be utilized for devices emulation.
Generally, User VM RAM regions mapping is set up before VM started and
is released in the User VM destruction. MMIO regions mapping may be set
and unset dynamically during User VM running.
To achieve this, ioctls ACRN_IOCTL_SET_MEMSEG and ACRN_IOCTL_UNSET_MEMSEG
are introduced in HSM.

A virtual CPU of User VM has different context due to the different
registers state. ACRN userspace needs to set the virtual CPU
registers state (e.g. giving a initial registers state to a virtual
BSP of a User VM).
HSM provides an ioctl ACRN_IOCTL_SET_VCPU_REGS to do the virtual CPU
registers state setting. The ioctl passes the registers state from ACRN
userspace to the hypervisor directly.

The VM management interfaces expose several VM operations to ACRN
userspace via ioctls. For example, creating VM, starting VM, destroying
VM and so on.
The ACRN Hypervisor needs to exchange data with the ACRN userspace
during the VM operations. HSM provides VM operation ioctls to the ACRN
userspace and communicates with the ACRN Hypervisor for VM operations
via hypercalls.
HSM maintains a list of User VM. Each User VM will be bound to an
existing file descriptor of /dev/acrn_hsm. The User VM will be
destroyed when the file descriptor is closed.

ACRN Hypervisor Service Module (HSM) is a kernel module in Service VM
which communicates with ACRN userspace through ioctls and talks to ACRN
Hypervisor through hypercalls.
Add a basic HSM driver which allows Service VM userspace to communicate
with ACRN. The following patches will add more ioctls, guest VM memory
mapping caching, I/O request processing, ioeventfd and irqfd into this
module. HSM exports a char device interface (/dev/acrn_hsm) to userspace.
