[PATCH v1 0/2] Retrieve TPH from dma-buf for PCIe P2P memory access

[Zhiping Zhang <zhipingz@meta.com>]

Currently, TPH steering tags are derived for CPUs via ACPI. This series
extends the VFIO dma-buf path so a vfio-based accelerator can attach TPH
metadata to an exported dma-buf, and lets mlx5 consume that metadata
when registering a dma-buf MR for PCIe peer-to-peer access.

Patch 1 adds a dma-buf callback to retrieve raw TPH metadata and updates
VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE_DMA_BUF to carry the optional steering tag and
processing hint in one extra trailing entries[] object without changing
the base uAPI layout. Patch 2 consumes the exported TPH metadata in mlx5
and converts the raw steering tag into an mlx5 steering-tag index.
