DK_CXLFLASH_VLUN_CLONE
----------------------
This ioctl is responsible for cloning a previously created
support maintaining user space access to storage after a process
forks. Upon success, the child process (which invoked the ioctl)
will have access to the same LUNs via the same resource handle(s)
- and fd2 as the parent, but under a different context.

Context sharing across processes is not supported with CXL and
therefore each fork must be met with establishing a new context
translation tables are copied from the parent context to the child's
and then synced with the AFU.
+ When the DK_CXLFLASH_APP_CLOSE_ADAP_FD flag was returned on a successful
+ attach, the application _must_ close the fd2 associated with the source
+ context (still resident/accessible in the parent process) following the
+ clone. This is to avoid a stale entry in the file descriptor table of the
+ child process.

DK_CXLFLASH_VERIFY
------------------
This ioctl is used to detect various changes such as the capacity of
at which time the context/resources they held will be freed as part of
the release fop.
+ When the DK_CXLFLASH_APP_CLOSE_ADAP_FD flag was returned on a successful
+ attach, the application _must_ unmap and close the fd2 associated with the
+ original context following this ioctl returning success and indicating that
