UIO: Add the User IO core code
This interface allows the ability to write the majority of a driver in
userspace with only a very small shell of a driver in the kernel itself.
It uses a char device and sysfs to interact with a userspace process to
process interrupts and control memory accesses.
See the docbook documentation for more details on how to use this
interface.
