[PATCH] dma/idxd: add support for multi-process when using VFIO

[Bruce Richardson]

When using vfio-pci/uio for hardware access, we need to avoid
reinitializing the hardware when mapping from a secondary process.
Instead, just configure the function pointers and reuse the data
mappings from the primary process.

With the code change, update driver doc with the information that
vfio-pci can be used for multi-process support, and explicitly state the
limitation on multi-process support being unavailable when using idxd
kernel driver.
