dma-buf: Extract dma-buf.rst
Just prep work to polish and consolidate all the dma-buf related documenation. Unfortunately I didn't discover a way to both integrate this new file into the overall toc while keeping it at the current place. Work around that by moving it into the overall driver-api/index.rst.

Buffer Sharing and Synchronization
|
||||
==================================
|
||||
|
||||
The dma-buf subsystem provides the framework for sharing buffers for
|
||||
hardware (DMA) access across multiple device drivers and subsystems, and
|
||||
for synchronizing asynchronous hardware access.
|
||||
|
||||
This is used, for example, by drm "prime" multi-GPU support, but is of
|
||||
course not limited to GPU use cases.
|
||||
|
||||
The three main components of this are: (1) dma-buf, representing a
|
||||
sg_table and exposed to userspace as a file descriptor to allow passing
|
||||
between devices, (2) fence, which provides a mechanism to signal when
|
||||
one device as finished access, and (3) reservation, which manages the
|
||||
shared or exclusive fence(s) associated with the buffer.
