[V2 PATCH 07/16] powerpc/vas: Define QoS credit flag to allocate window

[Haren Myneni]

pHyp introduces two different type of credits: Default and Quality
of service (QoS).

The total number of default credits available on each LPAR depends
on CPU resources configured. But these credits can be shared or
over-committed across LPARs in shared mode which can result in
paste command failure (RMA_busy). To avoid NX HW contention, phyp
introduces QoS credit type which makes sure guaranteed access to NX
resources. The system admins can assign QoS credits for each LPAR
via HMC.

Default credit type is used to allocate a VAS window by default as
on powerVM implementation. But the process can pass VAS_WIN_QOS_CREDITS
flag with VAS_TX_WIN_OPEN ioctl to open VAS QoS type window.
