*	cxl: Add tracepoints	Ian Munsie	2015-01-22
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	This patch adds tracepoints throughout the cxl driver, which can provide insight into: - Context lifetimes - Commands sent to the PSL and AFU and their completion status - Segment and page table misses and their resolution - PSL and AFU interrupts - slbia calls from the powerpc copro_fault code These tracepoints are mostly intended to aid in debugging (particularly for new AFU designs), and may be useful standalone or in conjunction with hardware traces collected by the PSL (read out via the trace interface in debugfs) and AFUs.

*	cxl: Driver code for powernv PCIe based cards for userspace access	Ian Munsie	2014-10-08
	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.
