cxl/mem: Add basic IOCTL interface
Add a straightforward IOCTL that provides a mechanism for userspace to query the supported memory device commands. CXL commands as they appear to userspace are described as part of the UAPI kerneldoc. The command list returned via this IOCTL will contain the full set of commands that the driver supports, however, some of those commands may not be available for use by userspace. Memory device commands first appear in the CXL 2.0 specification. They are submitted through a mailbox mechanism specified in the CXL 2.0 specification. The send command allows userspace to issue mailbox commands directly to the hardware. The list of available commands to send are the output of the query command. The driver verifies basic properties of the command and possibly inspect the input (or output) payload to determine whether or not the command is allowed (or might taint the kernel).
