Conrad Meyer ffac39deae Add vmgenc(4) driver for ACPI VM generation counter
The VM generation counter is a 128-bit value exposed by the BIOS via ACPI.
The value changes to another unique identifier whenever a VM is duplicated.
Additionally, ACPI provides notification events when such events occur.

The driver decodes the pointer to the UUID, exports the value to userspace
via OPAQUE sysctl blob, and forwards the ACPI notifications in the form of
an EVENTHANDLER invocation as well as userspace devctl events.

/*
* VM Generation Counter driver
*
* This driver has two functions: first, it provides a system event (both in
* the kernel EVENTHANDLER framework as well as a userspace devctl event)
* whenever a VM has been (HyperV doc, for example):
* - Snapped and the snapshot is executing
* - Recovered from backup
* - Failed over in a HA setup
* - Imported, copied, or cloned
* - And unspecified if VM configuration changes might cause a changed
* generation counter
*
* Second, it can read the current VM generation counter, a 128-bit GUID.
