iommu/ioasid: Add custom allocators
IOASID allocation may rely on platform specific methods. One use case is that when running in the guest, in order to obtain system wide global IOASIDs, emulated allocation interface is needed to communicate with the host. Here we call these platform specific allocators custom allocators. Custom IOASID allocators can be registered at runtime and take precedence over the default XArray allocator. They have these attributes: - provides platform specific alloc()/free() functions with private data. - allocation results lookup are not provided by the allocator, lookup request must be done by the IOASID framework by its own XArray. - allocators can be unregistered at runtime, either fallback to the next custom allocator or to the default allocator. - custom allocators can share the same set of alloc()/free() helpers, in this case they also share the same IOASID space, thus the same XArray. - switching between allocators requires all outstanding IOASIDs to be freed unless the two allocators share the same alloc()/free() helpers.
