[PATCH v2 00/10] CXL EEH Handling

CXL accelerators are unfortunately not immune from failure. This patch
set enables them to particpate in the Extended Error Handling process.

This series starts with a number of preparatory patches:

 - Patch 1 makes sure we don't touch the hardware when it has failed.
 
 - Patches 2-4 make the 'unplug' functions idempotent, so that if we
   get part way through recovery and then fail, being completely
   unplugged as part of removal doesn't cause us to oops out.

 - Patches 5 and 6 refactor init and teardown paths for the adapter
   and AFUs, so that they can be configured and deconfigured
   separately from their allocation and release.

 - Patch 7 stops cxl_reset from breaking EEH.

Patches 8 and 9 are parts of EEH.

 - Firstly we have a kernel flag that allows us to confidently assert
   the hardware will not change (be reflashed) when it it reset.

 - We then have the EEH support itself.

Finally, we add a CONFIG_CXL_EEH symbol that allows drivers to depend
on CXL EEH, or to be easily backportable if EEH is optional.

Changes from v1:
 - More comprehensive link down checks, including vPHB.
 - Rebased to apply cleanly to 4.2-rc4.
 - cxl reset changes.
 - CONFIG_CXL_EEH symbol addition.
 - add better vPHB support to EEH.
