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.

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.

Adds a driver that implements support for enabling and accessing PAPR
SCM regions. Unfortunately due to how the PAPR interface works we can't
use the existing of_pmem driver (yet) because:
a) The guest is required to use the H_SCM_BIND_MEM h-call to add
add the SCM region to it's physical address space, and
b) There is currently no mechanism for relating a bare of_pmem region
to the backing DIMM (or not-a-DIMM for our case).
Both of these are easily handled by rolling the functionality into a
seperate driver so here we are...
