x86/PCI: Add driver for Intel Volume Management Device (VMD)
The Intel Volume Management Device (VMD) is a Root Complex Integrated Endpoint that acts as a host bridge to a secondary PCIe domain. BIOS can reassign one or more Root Ports to appear within a VMD domain instead of the primary domain. The immediate benefit is that additional PCIe domains allow more than 256 buses in a system by letting bus numbers be reused across different domains. VMD domains do not define ACPI _SEG, so to avoid domain clashing with host bridges defining this segment, VMD domains start at 0x10000, which is greater than the highest possible 16-bit ACPI defined _SEG. This driver enumerates and enables the domain using the root bus configuration interface provided by the PCI subsystem. The driver provides configuration space accessor functions (pci_ops), bus and memory resources, an MSI IRQ domain with irq_chip implementation, and DMA operations necessary to use devices through the VMD endpoint's interface. VMD routes I/O as follows: 1) Configuration Space: BAR 0 ("CFGBAR") of VMD provides the base address and size for configuration space register access to VMD-owned root ports. It works similarly to MMCONFIG for extended configuration space. Bus numbering is independent and does not conflict with the primary domain. 2) MMIO Space: BARs 2 and 4 ("MEMBAR1" and "MEMBAR2") of VMD provide the base address, size, and type for MMIO register access. These addresses are not translated by VMD hardware; they are simply reservations to be distributed to root ports' memory base/limit registers and subdivided among devices downstream. 3) DMA: To interact appropriately with an IOMMU, the source ID DMA read and write requests are translated to the bus-device-function of the VMD endpoint. Otherwise, DMA operates normally without VMD-specific address translation. 4) Interrupts: Part of VMD's BAR 4 is reserved for VMD's MSI-X Table and PBA. MSIs from VMD domain devices and ports are remapped to appear as if they were issued using one of VMD's MSI-X table entries. Each MSI and MSI-X address of VMD-owned devices and ports has a special format where the address refers to specific entries in the VMD's MSI-X table. As with DMA, the interrupt source ID is translated to VMD's bus-device-function. The driver provides its own MSI and MSI-X configuration functions specific to how MSI messages are used within the VMD domain, and provides an irq_chip for independent IRQ allocation to relay interrupts from VMD's interrupt handler to the appropriate device driver's handler. 5) Errors: PCIe error message are intercepted by the root ports normally (e.g., AER), except with VMD, system errors (i.e., firmware first) are disabled by default. AER and hotplug interrupts are translated in the same way as endpoint interrupts. 6) VMD does not support INTx interrupts or IO ports. Devices or drivers requiring these features should either not be placed below VMD-owned root ports, or VMD should be disabled by BIOS for such endpoints.

+ Adds support for the Intel Volume Management Device (VMD). VMD is a
+ secondary PCI host bridge that allows PCI Express root ports,
+ and devices attached to them, to be removed from the default
+ PCI domain and placed within the VMD domain. This provides
+ more bus resources than are otherwise possible with a
+ single domain. If you know your system provides one of these and
+ has devices attached to it, say Y; if you are not sure, say N.
