This adds support for handling background operations, as defined in the CXL 3.0 spec. Commands that can take too long (over ~2 seconds) can run in the background asynchronously (to the hardware). The driver will deal with such commands synchronously, blocking all other incoming commands for a specified period of time, allowing time-slicing the command such that the caller can send incremental requests to avoid monopolizing the driver/device. Any out of sync (timeout) between the driver and hardware is just disregarded as an invalid state until the next successful submission. Such timeouts are considered a rare occurrence, either a real device problem or a driver issue that needs to reduce the size of the background operation to fit the timeout. On devices where mbox interrupts are supported, this will still use a poller that will wakeup in the specified wait intervals. The irq handler will simply awake the blocked cmd, which is also safe vs a task that is either waking (timing out) or already awoken. Similarly any irq setup error during the probing falls back to polling, thus avoids unnecessarily erroring out.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
