This series adds a single user: the SCM driver. We have another user
almost ready for upstream in the form of the scminvoke driver and I
learned today, I can already convert another user upstream right now
that I will try to get ready for v2.

It's self-contained enough to be put into a separate module and not
all platforms support it so in order to avoid unnecessary ifdeffery in
the scm driver, I made it separate.
