[PATCH v3 0/6] Define EINVAL as device/domain incompatibility

This series is to replace the previous EMEDIUMTYPE patch in a VFIO series:
https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/Yxnt9uQTmbqul5lf@8bytes.org/

The purpose is to regulate all existing ->attach_dev callback functions to
use EINVAL exclusively for an incompatibility error between a device and a
domain. This allows VFIO and IOMMUFD to detect such a soft error, and then
try a different domain with the same device.

Among all the patches, the first two are preparatory changes. And then one
patch to update kdocs and another three patches for the enforcement effort.

Although it might be ideal to merge the previous VFIO series together with
this series, given the number of new changes, the review in the IOMMU list
might need a couple of rounds to finalize. Also, considering that v6.0 is
at rc5 now, perhaps we could merge this IOMMU series and the VFIO one in
different cycles to avoid merge conflicts. If there's less concern for it,
I can respin the finalized version of this series with the previous VFIO
one to merge together into the VFIO tree.

This series is also available on Github:

Changelog
v3:
 * Added "Reviewed-by" from Vasant to the AMD patch
 * Dropped all unnecessary errno enforcement patches
 * Updated kdocs and brought back the kdocs for the helpers
 * Added a separate patch to propagate "ret" for potential EINVALs
 * Converted to ENODEV those existing EINVAL places that are device-specific
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/20220914051234.10006-1-nicolinc@nvidia.com/
 * Fixed kdocs format
 * Grouped with the virtio patch from Jean (with a small change)
 * Separated previous ENODEV and EINVAL changes to per-driver ones
 * Redone some of the changes to have explicit return values in the
   ->attach_dev() callback functions or their direct sub-functions.
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/20220913082448.31120-1-nicolinc@nvidia.com/
