Mauro Carvalho Chehab baa293e954 docs: driver-api: add a series of orphaned documents
There are lots of documents under Documentation/*.txt and a few other
orphan documents elsehwere that belong to the driver-API book.

Move them to their right place.

config SYNC_FILE
bool "Explicit Synchronization Framework"

select DMA_SHARED_BUFFER
---help---
The Sync File Framework adds explicit syncronization via
userspace. It enables send/receive 'struct dma_fence' objects to/from
userspace via Sync File fds for synchronization between drivers via
userspace components. It has been ported from Android.
The first and main user for this is graphics in which a fence is
associated with a buffer. When a job is submitted to the GPU a fence
is attached to the buffer and is transferred via userspace, using Sync
Files fds, to the DRM driver for example. More details at
Documentation/driver-api/sync_file.rst.
config SW_SYNC
bool "Sync File Validation Framework"
default n
depends on SYNC_FILE
depends on DEBUG_FS
---help---
A sync object driver that uses a 32bit counter to coordinate
synchronization. Useful when there is no hardware primitive backing
the synchronization.
WARNING: improper use of this can result in deadlocking kernel
drivers from userspace. Intended for test and debug only.
config UDMABUF
bool "userspace dmabuf misc driver"
default n
depends on DMA_SHARED_BUFFER
depends on MEMFD_CREATE || COMPILE_TEST
help
A driver to let userspace turn memfd regions into dma-bufs.
Qemu can use this to create host dmabufs for guest framebuffers.
