* misc: mic: SCIF messaging and node enumeration APIsSudeep Dutt2015-05-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SCIF messaging APIs which allow sending messages between the SCIF endpoints via a byte stream based ring buffer which has been optimized to avoid reads across PCIe. The SCIF messaging APIs are typically used for short < 1024 byte messages for best performance while the RDMA APIs which will be submitted in a future patch series is recommended for larger transfers. The node enumeration API enables a user to query for the number of nodes online in the SCIF network and their node ids.

* misc: mic: SCIF connections APIs i.e. accept and connectNikhil Rao2015-05-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SCIF connection APIs which establish a SCIF connection between a pair of SCIF endpoints. A SCIF connection consists of a dedicated queue-pair between the endpoints. Client messages are sent over the queue-pair whereas the signaling associated with the message is multiplexed over the node queue-pair. Similarly other control messages such as exposing registered memory are also sent over the node queue-pair. The SCIF endpoints must be in connected state to exchange messages, register memory, map remote memory and trigger DMA transfers. SCIF connections can be set up asynchronously or synchronously. Thanks to Johnnie S Peters for authoring parts of this patch during early bring up of the SCIF driver.

* misc: mic: SCIF open close bind and listen APIsSudeep Dutt2015-05-24
SCIF character device file operations and kernel APIs for opening and closing a user and kernel mode SCIF endpoint. This patch also enables binding to a SCIF port and listening for incoming SCIF connections.
