Move the contents of the include/linux/nx842.h header file into the
drivers/crypto/nx/nx-842.h header file. Remove the nx842.h header
file and its entry in the MAINTAINERS file.
The include/linux/nx842.h header originally was there because the
crypto/842.c driver needed it to communicate with the nx-842 hw
driver. However, that crypto compression driver was moved into
the drivers/crypto/nx/ directory, and now can directly include the
nx-842.h header. Nothing else needs the public include/linux/nx842.h
header file, as all use of the nx-842 hardware driver will be through
the "842-nx" crypto compression driver, since the direct nx-842 api is
very limited in the buffer alignments and sizes that it will accept,
and the crypto compression interface handles those limitations and
allows any alignment and size buffers.

Add driver for NX-842 hardware on the PowerNV platform.
This allows the use of the 842 compression hardware coprocessor on
the PowerNV platform.

Add "constraints" for the NX-842 driver. The constraints are used to
indicate what the current NX-842 platform driver is capable of. The
constraints tell the NX-842 user what alignment, min and max length, and
length multiple each provided buffers should conform to. These are
required because the 842 hardware requires buffers to meet specific
constraints that vary based on platform - for example, the pSeries
max length is much lower than the PowerNV max length.

Add NX-842 frontend that allows using either the pSeries platform or
PowerNV platform driver (to be added by later patch) for the NX-842
hardware. Update the MAINTAINERS file to include the new filenames.
Update Kconfig files to clarify titles and descriptions, and correct
dependencies.

This patch adds the driver for interacting with the 842
compression accelerator on IBM Power7+ systems.
The device is a child of the Platform Facilities Option (PFO)
and shows up as a child of the IBM VIO bus.
The compression/decompression API takes the same arguments
as existing compression methods like lzo and deflate. The 842
hardware operates on 4K hardware pages and the driver breaks up
input on 4K boundaries to submit it to the hardware accelerator.
