UIO: Add the User IO core code

This interface allows the ability to write the majority of a driver in
userspace with only a very small shell of a driver in the kernel itself.
It uses a char device and sysfs to interact with a userspace process to
process interrupts and control memory accesses.

See the docbook documentation for more details on how to use this
interface.

+          Enable this to allow the userspace driver core code to be
+          built.  This code allows userspace programs easy access to
+          kernel interrupts and memory locations, allowing some drivers
+          to be written in userspace.  Note that a small kernel driver
+          is also required for interrupt handling to work properly.
+
+          If you don't know what to do here, say N.
