[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.

This is the v4 patch with a few changes:

- Remove the lazy option. If we see overhead in the context switch path
  we can add it back in once we have the basic patch working and merged.

- Remove comment and ifdef around spinlock forward declaration. We don't
  wrap forward declarations in ifdefs and they are common enough that we
  don't need to explain them individually.

- Check for CPU_FTR_ICSWX in drop_cop. Even though we shouldn't enter with
  mm == active_mm, we export the function and we should avoid doing writes
  to model specific SPRs in any circumstance.

- Convert WARN_ON -> WARN_ON_ONCE in drop_cop.

- Fix comments to be docbook compliant

- Update the Kconfig help text to read a bit better

+ * The data of the COP_REQ transaction is 128-byte or less and is
+ * placed in cacheable memory on a 128-byte cache line boundary.
+ *
+ * The task to use a coprocessor should use use_cop() to allocate

+ * also enables the coprocessor context switching. Drop_cop() is
+ * used to free the coprocessor PID.
+ *
+ * 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.
