Add udmabuf misc device
A driver to let userspace turn memfd regions into dma-bufs.
Use case: Allows qemu create dmabufs for the vga framebuffer or
virtio-gpu ressources. Then they can be passed around to display
those guest things on the host. To spice client for classic full
framebuffer display, and hopefully some day to wayland server for
seamless guest window display.
