The interleave set cookie is used to determine if a label stored in the
metadata space should be applied to the current region. This is
important in the case of NVDIMMs since the firmware may change the
interleaving configuration of a DIMM which would invalidate the existing
labels. In our case the hypervisor hides those details from us so we
don't really care, but libnvdimm still requires the interleave set
cookie to be non-zero.

For our purposes we just need the set cookie to be unique and fixed for
a given PAPR SCM region and using the unit-guid (really a UUID) is fine
for this purpose.

<title>powerpc/papr_scm: Fix DIMM device registration race</title>

<content type='text'>
When a new nvdimm device is registered with libnvdimm via
nvdimm_create() it is added as a device on the nvdimm bus. The probe
function for the DIMM driver is potentially quite slow so actually
registering and probing the device is done in an async domain rather
than immediately after device creation. This can result in a race where
the region device (created 2nd) is probed first and fails to activate at
boot.

To fix this we use the same approach as the ACPI/NFIT driver which is to
check that all the DIMM devices registered successfully. LibNVDIMM
provides the nvdimm_bus_count_dimms() function which synchronises with
the async domain and verifies that the dimm was successfully registered
with the bus.

If either of these does not occur then we bail.

The return values of a h-call are returned in the CPU registers and
written to the provided buffer by the plpar_hcall() wrapper. As a result
the values written to memory are always in the native endian and should
not be byte swapped.

The inital implementation of the H-Call interface was done in qemu and
the returned values were byte swapped unnecessarily in both the
hypervisor and in the driver so this was only noticed when bringing up
the PowerVM implementation.

The ibm,unit-sizes property was originally specified as an array of two
u32s corresponding to the memory block size, and the number of blocks
available in that region. A fairly last-minute change to the SCM DT
specification was splitting that into two seperate u64 properties:
ibm,block-sizes and ibm,number-of-blocks that convey the same
information. No firmware / hypervisor that emitted the ibm,unit-size
property ever appeared in the wild.

Fix an off-by-one error in the memory resource range. This resource is
used to determine the address range of the memory to be hot-plugged as
ZONE_DEVICE memory. The current end address results in the kernel
attempting to map an additional memblock and the hypervisor may reject
the mapping resulting in the entire hot-plug failing.

The NPU IOMMU is setup to mirror the parent PCIe device IOMMU
setup. Therefore it does not make sense to call dma operations such as
dma_map_page(), etc. directly on these devices. The existing dma_ops
simply print a warning if they are ever called, however this is
unnecessary and the warnings are likely to go unnoticed.

It is instead simpler to remove these operations and let the generic
DMA code print warnings (eg. via a NULL pointer deref) in cases of
buggy drivers attempting dma operations on NVLink devices.

 "Some things that I missed due to travel, or that came in late.

  Two fixes also going to stable:

   - A revert of a buggy change to the 8xx TLB miss handlers.

   - Our flushing of SPE (Signal Processing Engine) registers on fork
     was broken.

  Other changes:

   - A change to the KVM decrementer emulation to use proper APIs.

   - Some cleanups to the way we do code patching in the 8xx code.

   - Expose the maximum possible memory for the system in
     /proc/powerpc/lparcfg.

   - Merge some updates from Scott: "a couple device tree updates, and a
     fix for a missing prototype warning"

  A few other minor fixes and a handful of fixes for our selftests.
