The first 5 patches of this series contain fixes to support
the cxlflash driver in a PowerVM guest. For the cxlflash driver
to be functional in a PowerVM guest, a corresponding set of cxl
patches (currently being upstreamed) is required. Note that this
cxlflash patch series does not have any build dependencies on
the new cxl code.

The sixth patch in the series is a fix to dynamically swap between
the AFU's internal LUN and an actual LUN detected on the fabric.

The last patch in the series is a performance enhancement to
improve throughput with cxlflash driver.

This series is intended for 4.6 and is bisectable.

Manoj N. Kumar (3):
  cxlflash: Simplify PCI registration
  cxlflash: Fix to avoid unnecessary scan with internal LUNs
  cxlflash: Increase cmd_per_lun for better throughput

Matthew R. Ochs (2):
  cxlflash: Split out context initialization
  cxlflash: Simplify attach path error cleanup

Uma Krishnan (2):
  cxlflash: Unmap problem state area before detaching master context
  cxlflash: Reorder user context initialization
