2017-04-13cxl: Add psl9 specific codeChristophe Lombard1-2/+13
The new Coherent Accelerator Interface Architecture, level 2, for the IBM POWER9 brings new content and features: - POWER9 Service Layer - Registers - Radix mode - Process element entry - Dedicated-Shared Process Programming Model - Translation Fault Handling - CAPP - Memory Context ID If a valid mm_struct is found the memory context id is used for each transaction associated with the process handle. The PSL uses the context ID to find the corresponding process element.

2016-03-09cxl: Support to flash a new image on the adapter from a guestChristophe Lombard1-0/+55
The new flash.c file contains the logic to flash a new image on the adapter, through a hcall. It is an iterative process, with chunks of data of 1M at a time. There are also 2 phases: write and verify. The flash operation itself is driven from a user-land tool. Once flashing is successful, an rtas call is made to update the device tree with the new properties values for the adapter and the AFU(s) Add a new char device for the adapter, so that the flash tool can access the card, even if there is no valid AFU on it.
