Jens Wiklander c924c65f52 tee: implement protected DMA-heap
Implement DMA heap for protected DMA-buf allocation in the TEE
subsystem.

Protected memory refers to memory buffers behind a hardware enforced
firewall. It is not accessible to the kernel during normal circumstances
but rather only accessible to certain hardware IPs or CPUs executing in
higher or differently privileged mode than the kernel itself. This
interface allows to allocate and manage such protected memory buffers
via interaction with a TEE implementation.

The protected memory is allocated for a specific use-case, like Secure
Video Playback, Trusted UI, or Secure Video Recording where certain
hardware devices can access the memory.

The DMA-heaps are enabled explicitly by the TEE backend driver. The TEE
backend drivers needs to implement protected memory pool to manage the
protected memory.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
