Daniel Samson 4e7cbc9792 iommu: DMA-region capabilities — per-grant reachability, protocol flag-day
Replaces L2's interim DMA pool (every buffer reachable by every claimed
device) with true per-grant confinement: a device reaches only buffers
whose capability was delegated to its driver.

Kernel:
- DmaRegionObject (handle kind 2): a delegation token naming a dma_alloc'd
  region, passable across processes on the IPC cap slot like an endpoint
  or shared-memory object. Frames stay owned by the allocating address
  space (freed on dma_free/teardown as before); the token carries a `dead`
  flag so a stale downstream handle can no longer bind a freed region.
- dma_alloc gains the dma_shareable flag: it returns a capability handle
  in r8 and every region is tracked in a registry. A task's own regions
  auto-bind into the devices it claims (its rings just work); foreign
  buffers are bound explicitly.
- dma_bind / dma_unbind / handle_close syscalls (51-53). dma_bind maps a
  held region (or shared-memory) capability into a claimed device's domain;
  it is idempotent. handle_close reclaims a table slot (raised 16 -> 32).
- dma_free and task death unmap a region from every domain and invalidate
  BEFORE its frames return to the allocator — the stale-IOTLB use-after-
  free window, closed structurally.

Protocols (flag-day): block gains attach, usb-transfer gains dma_attach —
each carries a region capability on the cap slot. fat allocates its bounce
buffer shareable and attaches it; usb-storage allocates its transport
buffers shareable, attaches them to the controller, and forwards fat's
capability downstream; usb-xhci-bus binds and closes; virtio-gpu binds its
shared scanout surface. The physical addresses on the wire are unchanged
(identity IOVA), so no register-programming code moved.

Cross-process DMA (fat -> usb-storage -> xHC) now flows only through
delegated capabilities. iommu-usb-storage / iommu-usb-hid / iommu-fault
all green under per-grant enforcement; 104/104 overall (fail-open paths
unchanged).

//! User-space DMA memory: `dma_alloc` / `dma_free`. A driver that programs a
//! bus-mastering engine needs a descriptor ring the device can read — memory that is
//! physically contiguous, at a physical address the driver knows, uncacheable, and
//! pinned. `mmap` gives none of those; this does. Pair it with the barriers in
//! `/lib/mmio` (fill the ring, `wmb()`, ring the doorbell). See docs/driver-model.md.
