powerpc/fsl_msi: add support for "msi-address-64" property
Add support for the msi-address-64 property of a PCI node. This property
specifies the PCI address of MSIIR (message signaled interrupt index
register).
In commit 3da34aae ("powerpc/fsl: Support unique MSI addresses per PCIe Root
Complex"), the msi_addr_hi/msi_addr_lo fields of struct fsl_msi were redefined
from an actual address to just an offset, but the fields were not renamed
accordingly. These fields are replace with a single field, msiir_offset,
to reflect the new meaning.

55 | The Freescale hypervisor and msi-address-64 | ||
56 | ------------------------------------------- | ||
57 | Normally, PCI devices have access to all of CCSR via an ATMU mapping. The | ||
58 | Freescale MSI driver calculates the address of MSIIR (in the MSI register | ||
59 | block) and sets that address as the MSI message address. | ||
60 | |||
61 | In a virtualized environment, the hypervisor may need to create an IOMMU | ||
62 | mapping for MSIIR. The Freescale ePAPR hypervisor has this requirement | ||
63 | because of hardware limitations of the Peripheral Access Management Unit | ||
64 | (PAMU), which is currently the only IOMMU that the hypervisor supports. | ||
65 | The ATMU is programmed with the guest physical address, and the PAMU | ||
66 | intercepts transactions and reroutes them to the true physical address. | ||
67 | |||
68 | In the PAMU, each PCI controller is given only one primary window. The | ||
69 | PAMU restricts DMA operations so that they can only occur within a window. | ||
70 | Because PCI devices must be able to DMA to memory, the primary window must | ||
71 | be used to cover all of the guest's memory space. | ||
72 | |||
73 | PAMU primary windows can be divided into 256 subwindows, and each | ||
74 | subwindow can have its own address mapping ("guest physical" to "true | ||
75 | physical"). However, each subwindow has to have the same alignment, which | ||
76 | means they cannot be located at just any address. Because of these | ||
77 | restrictions, it is usually impossible to create a 4KB subwindow that | ||
78 | covers MSIIR where it's normally located. | ||
79 | |||
80 | Therefore, the hypervisor has to create a subwindow inside the same | ||
81 | primary window used for memory, but mapped to the MSIR block (where MSIIR | ||
82 | lives). The first subwindow after the end of guest memory is used for | ||
83 | this. The address specified in the msi-address-64 property is the PCI | ||
84 | address of MSIIR. The hypervisor configures the PAMU to map that address to | ||
85 | the true physical address of MSIIR. | ||
