xen/privcmd: Add IOCTL_PRIVCMD_DM_OP
Recently a new dm_op[1] hypercall was added to Xen to provide a mechanism for restricting device emulators (such as QEMU) to a limited set of hypervisor operations, and being able to audit those operations in the kernel of the domain in which they run. This patch adds IOCTL_PRIVCMD_DM_OP as gateway for __HYPERVISOR_dm_op. NOTE: There is no requirement for user-space code to bounce data through locked memory buffers (as with IOCTL_PRIVCMD_HYPERCALL) since privcmd has enough information to lock the original buffers directly.
