Frank Haverkamp 1451f41463 GenWQE: Support blocking when DDCB queue is busy
When the GenWQE hardware queue was busy, the driver returned simply
-EBUSY. This caused polling by applications which increased the load
on the already busy system. This change implements the possiblity to
sleep on a waitqueue instead when the DDCB queue is busy. The
requestor is woken up when there is free space on the queue again.
The old way to get -EBUSY is still available if the device is openend
with O_NONBLOCKING. The default is now blocking behavior.

Frank Haverkamp 95a8825c9c GenWQE: Check pci_get_totalvfs return code
Currently the driver is using the pci_get_totalvfs() return code
directly in a loop. To avoid problems with potentially negative
returns in case of errors, we are adding some more sanity checking
code.

Kleber Sacilotto de Souza fb145456fa GenWQE: Add support for EEH error recovery
This patch implements the callbacks and functions necessary to have EEH
recovery support.

It adds a config option to enable or disable explicit calls to trigger
platform specific mechanisms on error recovery paths. This option is
enabled by default only on PPC64 systems and can be overritten via
debugfs. If this option is enabled, on the error recovery path the
driver will call pci_channel_offline() to check for error condition and
issue non-raw MMIO reads to trigger early EEH detection in case of
hardware failures. This is necessary since the driver MMIO helper
funtions use raw accessors.

Frank Haverkamp 718f762efc GenWQE: Fix multithreading problems
When being used in a multithreaded application there were problems
with memory pages/cachelines accessed by multiple threads/cpus at the
same time, while doing DMA transfers to/from those. To avoid such
situations this fix is creating a copy of the first and the last page
if it is not fully used. The data is copied from user-space into those
pages and results are copied back when the DDCB-request is
successfully finished.
