[PATCH v4 00/10] Add Copy offload support

The patch series covers the points discussed in November 2021 virtual call
[LSF/MM/BFP TOPIC] Storage: Copy Offload[0].
We have covered the Initial agreed requirements in this patchset.
Patchset borrows Mikulas's token based approach for 2 bdev
implementation.

Overall series supports –

1. Driver
- NVMe Copy command (single NS), including support in nvme-target (for
    block and file backend)

2. Block layer
- Block-generic copy (REQ_COPY flag), with interface accommodating
    two block-devs, and multi-source/destination interface
- Emulation, when offload is natively absent
- dm-linear support (for cases not requiring split)

3. User-interface
- new ioctl
- copy_file_range for zonefs

4. In-kernel user
- dm-kcopyd
- copy_file_range in zonefs

For zonefs copy_file_range - Seems we cannot levearge fstest here. Limited
testing is done at this point using a custom application for unit testing.

Appreciate the inputs on plumbing and how to test this further?
Perhaps some of it can be discussed during LSF/MM too.
