mm/hmm/mirror: mirror process address space on device with HMM helpers
This is a heterogeneous memory management (HMM) process address space mirroring. In a nutshell this provide an API to mirror process address space on a device. This boils down to keeping CPU and device page table synchronize (we assume that both device and CPU are cache coherent like PCIe device can be). This patch provide a simple API for device driver to achieve address space mirroring thus avoiding each device driver to grow its own CPU page table walker and its own CPU page table synchronization mechanism. This is useful for NVidia GPU >= Pascal, Mellanox IB >= mlx5 and more hardware in the future.

+ Select HMM_MIRROR if you want to mirror range of the CPU page table of a
+ process into a device page table. Here, mirror means "keep synchronized".
+ Prerequisites: the device must provide the ability to write-protect its
