rGb9ef152bec6c: vmm: Merge vmm_dev.c

Summary

This file contains the vmm device file implementation. Most of this
code is not machine-dependent and so shouldn't be duplicated this way.
Move most of it into a generic dev/vmm/vmm_dev.c. This will make it
easier to introduce a cdev-based interface for VM creation, which in
turn makes it possible to implement support for running bhyve as an
unprivileged user.

Machine-dependent ioctls continue to be handled in machine-dependent
code. To make the split a bit easier to handle, introduce a pair of
tables which define MI and MD ioctls. Each table entry can set flags
which determine which locks need to be held in order to execute the
handler. vmmdev_ioctl() now looks up the ioctl in one of the tables,
acquires locks and either handles the ioctl directly or calls
vmmdev_machdep_ioctl() to handle it.

No functional change intended. There is a lot of churn in this change
but the underlying logic in the ioctl handlers is the same. For now,
vmm_dev.h is still mostly separate, even though some parts could be
merged in principle. This would involve changing include paths for
userspace, though.

174–175	How is this change related to your patch? Wouldn't it be better to split this into it's own patch and explain, why we can safely remove it?
727	Looks like a bug which should get it's own patch and explanation.

sys/amd64/vmm/vmm_dev_machdep.c
70	An old bug (so probably worth fixing in a separate commit), but I'd prefer if we were more consistent with naming these (and not sure which of these is my fault). So far we have _FBSD12 suffixes for old ioctls for 12.x, at least one _13 suffix as well as a couple of _OLD suffixes for 13.x ioctls. I'd definitely prefer having the major number instead of _OLD. I'm not sure I have preference between _FBSDnn vs _nn. Possibly the latter.
sys/dev/vmm/vmm_dev.c
328	Can this not live in the amd64 machdep.c file or is it too gross to do so? I guess because alloc_memseg() lives in this file it's a bit too gross.
sys/dev/vmm/vmm_dev.h
31
39	This one at least warrants a comment I think, that the vcpuid can either be -1 or a specific vcpu. Might be easier to explain though with a larger comment. I've taken a stab above.

sys/amd64/vmm/vmm_dev_machdep.c
70	I will submit a follow-up revision with that change.
sys/dev/vmm/vmm_dev.c
328	Yeah, I had to pick between two evils and this one felt a bit less evil.
sys/dev/vmm/vmm_dev.h
31	Thanks, I'll extend this a bit and include it in the patch. In fact, ioctls do not have to specify any of those flags, though in some cases it's not clear to me that that's intentional. For instance, `VM_GET_TOPOLOGY` and `VM_SET_TOPOLOGY` operate with no locking, which seems mostly harmless but still incorrect.
