This commit message is a bit short and could do with some further 
explanation.

In particular - it's worth explaining why the tracking of available LPC 
memory needs to be done at a link level, because a single OpenCAPI card 
can have multiple PCI functions, each with multiple AFUs which define an 
amount of LPC memory they have, even if the common case is expected to 
be a single function with a single AFU and thus one LPC area per link.

Snowpatch has a few checkpatch issues to report:

The code generally looks okay to me.

I think "amount of memory required" isn't the best way to express this.

Might as well explicitly say -EINVAL on overflow.
