Introduce vfio_dma_mapping_perf_test to aid in latency testing. Rather than a traditional pass/fail test, which tends to be flaky when enforcing latency bounds, this test directly reports the latency of various stages in the mapping and unmapping process. Start with a basic test that performs a simple DMA map/unmap and tracks the duration of each operation. The test reports the following metrics: 1. Time taken by mmap(). 2. Time taken to map a DMA region. 3. Time taken to unmap a DMA region. 4. Time taken by munmap(). Subsequent commits in this series will introduce more features to allow for a wider variety of testing. To ensure consistent DMA mapping times, the test uses MAP_POPULATE when calling mmap(). This forces page faults to be handled upfront, isolating the DMA mapping times from them.
