[PATCH] powerpc: Add Initiate Coprocessor Store Word (icswx) support

From: Tseng-Hui (Frank) Lin <thlin at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Icswx is a PowerPC instruction to send data to a co-processor. On Book-S
processors the LPAR_ID and process ID (PID) of the owning process are
registered in the window context of the co-processor at initialization
time. When the icswx instruction is executed the L2 generates a cop-reg
transaction on PowerBus. The transaction has no address and the
processor does not perform an MMU access to authenticate the transaction.
The co-processor compares the LPAR_ID and the PID included in the
transaction and the LPAR_ID and PID held in the window context to
determine if the process is authorized to generate the transaction.

The OS needs to assign a 16-bit PID for the process. This cop-PID needs
to be updated during context switch. The cop-PID needs to be destroyed
when the context is destroyed.

Changes:

- By including linux/spinlock_types.h we can remove the dynamic allocation
  of the spinlock hack and simplify things a lot.

- We had a nasty bug with threaded applications. We weren't ensuring all
  running threads saw the updates from a use_cop or drop_cop call. We
  could even reuse an active PID if one threaded app did a drop_cop and had
  other running threads. In that case we return the PID to the pool even
  though some running threads are using it. We now call sync_cop() on all
  cpus if the app is threaded, ensuring everyone sees the updates of
  a use_cop or drop_cop call.

+ * The task to use a coprocessor should use use_cop() to allocate

+ * Example:
+ * Host Fabric Interface (HFI) is a PowerPC network coprocessor.
+ * Each HFI have multiple windows. Each HFI window serves as a
+ * network device sending to and receiving from HFI network.
+ * HFI immediate send function uses icswx instruction. The immediate
+ * send function allows small (single cache-line) packets be sent
+ * without using the regular HFI send FIFO and doorbell, which are
+ * much slower than immediate send.
+ *
+ * For each task intending to use HFI immediate send, the HFI driver
+ * calls use_cop() to obtain a coprocessor PID for the task.
+ * The HFI driver then allocate a free HFI window and save the
+ * coprocessor PID to the HFI window to allow the task to use the
+ * HFI window.
+ *
+ * The HFI driver repeatedly creates immediate send packets and
+ * issues icswx instruction to send data through the HFI window.
+ * The HFI compares the coprocessor PID in the CPU PID register
+ * to the PID held in the HFI window to determine if the transaction
+ * is allowed.
+ *
+ * When the task to release the HFI window, the HFI driver calls
+ * drop_cop() to release the coprocessor PID.
