Virtual Accelerator Switchboard (VAS) is an engine stays on the
chip. So all windows opened on a specific engine belongs to VAS
the chip. The hypervisor expects the partition to close all
active windows on the sources system and reopen them after
migration on the destination machine.

This patch series adds VAS support with the partition migration.
When the migration initiates, the VAS migration handler will be
invoked before pseries_suspend() to close all active windows and
mark them in-active with VAS_WIN_MIGRATE_CLOSE status. Whereas
this migration handler is called after migration to reopen all
windows which has VAS_WIN_MIGRATE_CLOSE status and make them
active again. The user space gets paste instruction failure
when it sends requests on these in-active windows.

These patches depend on VAS/DLPAR support patch series
