Given a file descriptor on an afu device, libcxl currently uses the major/minor number obtained from fstat on the fd to construct path to the afu's sysfs directory. However it is possible that rather than using one of the device in /dev/cxl, a kernel driver creates its own device which export generic cxl interface to the userspace. This causes problems with libcxl as it tries to use a wrong major/minor number to construct the sysfs path and fail. So this patch introduces a new ioctl called CXL_IOCTL_GET_AFU_ID on the afu file descriptor to fetch the cxl_afu_id struct that holds the card/offset-id and mode information. These info is then used by libcxl to construct the correct path to the afu sysfs directory. Testing: - Build against pseries be/le configs - Testing with corresponding libcxl changes to verify that it constructs right sysfs path to the afu.
