This commits adds a header describing the hardware interface for the
Virtual Box Guest PCI device used in Virtual Box virtual machines and
utility functions for talking to the Virtual Box hypervisor over this
interface.

These utility functions will used both by the vboxguest driver for the
PCI device which offers the /dev/vboxguest ioctl API and by the vboxfs
driver which offers folder sharing support.

This patch has only minor defects. Please see the inline comments.

---
Changes in v2:
-Change all uapi headers to kernel coding style: Drop struct and enum typedefs
 make type and struct-member names all lowercase, enum values all uppercase.
-Remove unused struct type declarations from some headers (shaving of another
 1000 lines)
-Remove or fixup doxygen style comments
-Get rid of CHECK macros, use a function taking in_ and out_size args instead
-Some other small codyingstyle fixes
-Split into multiple patches

Do you intend a fall through here? If so, please add a comment to that effect.

Yes, comment added for v3.
