Haren Myneni b0d6c9bab5 crypto/nx: Add P9 NX support for 842 compression engine
This patch adds P9 NX support for 842 compression engine. Virtual
Accelerator Switchboard (VAS) is used to access 842 engine on P9.

For each NX engine per chip, setup receive window using
vas_rx_win_open() which configures RxFIFo with FIFO address, lpid,
pid and tid values. This unique (lpid, pid, tid) combination will
be used to identify the target engine.

For crypto open request, open send window on the NX engine for
the corresponding chip / cpu where the open request is executed.
This send window will be closed upon crypto close request.

NX provides high and normal priority FIFOs. For compression /
decompression requests, we use only hight priority FIFOs in kernel.

Each NX request will be communicated to VAS using copy/paste
instructions with vas_copy_crb() / vas_paste_crb() functions.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
