This commit adds a VCM driver that instead of using real
hardware MMU emulates one and uses CMA for allocating
contiguous memory chunks.

+*** VCM CMA
+
+VCM CMA driver is a One-to-One driver which uses CMA (see
+[[file:contiguous-memory.txt][contiguous-memory.txt]]) to allocate physically contiguous memory.  VCM
+CMA context is created by calling:
+
+	struct vcm *__must_check
+	vcm_cma_create(const char *regions, dma_addr_t alignment);
+
+Its first argument is the list of regions that CMA should try to
+allocate memory from.  The second argument is required alignment.
