[PATCH 00/10] Add sysfs interface files to hv_gpci device to expose system information

The hcall H_GET_PERF_COUNTER_INFO can be used to get data related to
chips, dimms and system topology, by passing different counter request
values.
Patchset adds sysfs files to "/sys/devices/hv_gpci/interface/"
of hv_gpci pmu driver, which will expose system topology information
using H_GET_PERF_COUNTER_INFO hcall. The added sysfs files are
available for power10 and above platforms and needs root access
to read the data.

Patches 1,3,5,7,9 adds sysfs interface files to the hv_gpci
pmu driver, to get system topology information.

List of added sysfs files:
-> processor_bus_topology (Counter request value : 0xD0)
-> processor_config (Counter request value : 0x90)
-> affinity_domain_via_virtual_processor (Counter request value : 0xA0)
-> affinity_domain_via_domain (Counter request value : 0xB0)
-> affinity_domain_via_partition (Counter request value : 0xB1)

Patches 2,4,6,8,10 adds details of the newly added hv_gpci
interface files listed above in the ABI documentation.
