misc: mic: SCIF remote memory map/unmap interface
This patch implements the SCIF mmap/munmap interface. A similar capability is provided to kernel clients via the scif_get_pages()/scif_put_pages() APIs. The SCIF mmap interface queries to check if a window is valid and then remaps the local virtual address to the remote physical pages. These mappings are subsequently destroyed upon receipt of the VMA close operation or scif_get_pages(). This functionality allows SCIF users to directly access remote memory without any driver interaction once the mappings are created thereby providing bare-metal PCIe latency. These mappings are zapped to avoid RMA accesses from user space, if a Coprocessor is reset.
