Ian Munsie d53ba6b3bb cxl: Fix afu_read() not doing finish_wait() on signal or non-blocking
If afu_read() returned due to a signal or the AFU file descriptor being
opened non-blocking it would not call finish_wait() before returning,
which could lead to a crash later when something else wakes up the wait
queue.

This patch restructures the wait logic to ensure that the cleanup is
done correctly.

Ian Munsie f204e0b8ce cxl: Driver code for powernv PCIe based cards for userspace access
This is the core of the cxl driver.

It adds support for using cxl cards in the powernv environment only (ie POWER8
bare metal). It allows access to cxl accelerators by userspace using the
/dev/cxl/afuM.N char devices.

The kernel driver has no knowledge of the function implemented by the
accelerator. It provides services to userspace via the /dev/cxl/afuM.N
devices. When a program opens this device and runs the start work IOCTL, the
accelerator will have coherent access to that processes memory using the same
virtual addresses. That process may mmap the device to access any MMIO space
the accelerator provides.  Also, reads on the device will allow interrupts to
be received. These services are further documented in a later patch in
Documentation/powerpc/cxl.txt.

Documentation of the cxl hardware architecture and userspace API is provided in
subsequent patches.
