Define an interface to return a system-wide unique id for a given VAS
window.

The vas_win_id() will be used in a follow-on patch to generate an unique
handle for a user space receive window. Applications can use this handle
to pair send and receive windows for fast thread-wakeup.

The hardware refers to this system-wide unique id as a Partition Send
Window ID which is expected to be used during fault handling. Hence the
"pswid" in the function names.
Same comment as previous patch.
Ok will drop them for now.
cheers
