Summary of changes:
- Add drivers/misc/vmw_zerocopy_core.c: the misc character device
  /dev/vmw_zc, its single ioctl, page pinning and PFN collection
- Add drivers/misc/vmw_zerocopy_vmci.c: the VMCI datagram transport backend
- Add drivers/misc/vmw_zerocopy_priv.h: the wire-format message structs and
  the struct vmw_zc_transport_ops interface that joins the two
- Add include/uapi/linux/vmw_zerocopy.h: struct vmw_zc_guest_message and
  VMW_ZC_IOCTL_MSG
- Register ioctl magic 0xDC in
  Documentation/userspace-api/ioctl/ioctl-number.rst
- Add the VMW_ZC Kconfig symbol and a MAINTAINERS entry

This all goes below the --- line, right?  Otherwise it would show up in
the changelog which doesn't make sense :(

The kernel documentation should explain all of this, how did this pass
internal review?

thanks,
