[PATCH v4 1/2] ring-buffer: Introducing ring-buffer mapping functions

[Vincent Donnefort]

In preparation for allowing the user-space to map a ring-buffer, add
a set of mapping functions:

  ring_buffer_{map,unmap}()
  ring_buffer_map_fault()

And controls on the ring-buffer:

  ring_buffer_map_get_reader_page()  /* swap reader and head */

Mapping the ring-buffer also involves:

  A unique ID for each page of the ring-buffer, as currently the pages
  are only identified through their in-kernel VA.

  A meta-page, where are stored statistics about the ring-buffer and
  a page IDs list, ordered. A field gives what page is the reader
  one and one to gives where the ring-buffer starts in the list of data
  pages.

The linear mapping exposes the meta-page, and each page of the
ring-buffer, ordered following their unique ID, assigned during the
first mapping.

Once mapped, no page can get in or out of the ring-buffer: the buffer
size will remain unmodified and the splice enabling functions will in
reality simply memcpy the data instead of swapping pages.
