Ian Munsie bc78b05bb4 cxl: Return error to PSL if IRQ demultiplexing fails & print clearer warning
If an AFU has a hardware bug that causes it to acknowledge a context
terminate or remove while that context has outstanding transactions, it
is possible for the kernel to receive an interrupt for that context
after we have removed it from the context list.

The kernel will not be able to demultiplex the interrupt (or worse - if
we have already reallocated the process handle we could mis-attribute it
to the new context), and printed a big scary warning.

It did not acknowledge the interrupt, which would effectively halt
further translation fault processing on the PSL.

This patch makes the warning clearer about the likely cause of the issue
(i.e. hardware bug) to make it obvious to future AFU designers of what
needs to be fixed. It also prints out the process handle which can then
be matched up with hardware and software traces for debugging.

It also acknowledges the interrupt to the PSL with either an address
error or acknowledge, so that the PSL can continue with other
translations.

Ian Munsie f204e0b8ce cxl: Driver code for powernv PCIe based cards for userspace access
This is the core of the cxl driver.

It adds support for using cxl cards in the powernv environment only (ie POWER8
bare metal). It allows access to cxl accelerators by userspace using the
/dev/cxl/afuM.N char devices.

The kernel driver has no knowledge of the function implemented by the
accelerator. It provides services to userspace via the /dev/cxl/afuM.N
devices. When a program opens this device and runs the start work IOCTL, the
accelerator will have coherent access to that processes memory using the same
virtual addresses. That process may mmap the device to access any MMIO space
the accelerator provides.  Also, reads on the device will allow interrupts to
be received. These services are further documented in a later patch in
Documentation/powerpc/cxl.txt.

Documentation of the cxl hardware architecture and userspace API is provided in
subsequent patches.
