[Skiboot] [RFC 07/12] add nx842 constraints

Add "constraints" for the NX-842 driver.  The constraints are used to
indicate what the current NX-842 platform driver is capable of.  The
constraints tell the NX-842 user what alignment, min and max length, and
length multiple each provided buffers should conform to.  These are
required because the 842 hardware requires buffers to meet specific
constraints that vary based on platform - for example, the pSeries
max length is much lower than the PowerNV max length.

These constraints are used by a later patch that improves the crypto 842
driver.

+/**
+ * nx842_constraints
+ *
+ * This provides the driver's constraints.  Different nx842 implementations
+ * may have varying requirements.  The constraints are:
+ *   @alignment:	All buffers should be aligned to this
+ *   @multiple:		All buffer lengths should be a multiple of this
+ *   @minimum:		Buffer lengths must not be less than this amount
+ *   @maximum:		Buffer lengths must not be more than this amount
+ *
+ * The constraints apply to all buffers and lengths, both input and output,
+ * for both compression and decompression, except for the minimum which
+ * only applies to compression input and decompression output; the
+ * compressed data can be less than the minimum constraint.  It can be
+ * assumed that compressed data will always adhere to the multiple
+ * constraint.
+ *
+ * The driver may succeed even if these constraints are violated;
+ * however the driver can return failure or suffer reduced performance
+ * if any constraint is not met.
