Adopt the SISLite AFU debug capability to allow future CXL Flash
adapters the ability to better debug AFU issues. Update the SISLite
header with the changes necessary to support AFU debug operations
and create a host ioctl interface for user debug software. Also
update the cxlflash documentation to describe this new host ioctl.

Adopt the SISLite AFU LUN provisioning capability to allow future CXL
Flash adapters the ability to better manage storage. Update the SISLite
header with the changes necessary to support LUN provision operations
and create a host ioctl interface for user LUN management software. Also
update the cxlflash documentation to describe this new host ioctl.

As staging for supporting various host management functions, add a host
ioctl infrastructure to filter ioctl commands and perform operations that
are common for all host ioctls. Also update the cxlflash documentation to
create a new section for documenting host ioctls.

AFU sync operations are not currently evaluated for failure. This is
acceptable for paths where there is not a dependency on the AFU being
consistent with the host. Examples include link reset events and LUN
cleanup operations. On paths where there is a dependency, such as a LUN
open, a sync failure should be acted upon.
In the event of AFU sync failures, either log or cleanup as appropriate for
operations that are dependent on a successful sync completion.
Update documentation to reflect behavior in the event of an AFU sync
failure.

At present, the cxlflash driver only supports hardware with two FC ports. The
code was initially designed with this assumption and is dependent on having
two FC ports - adding more ports will break logic within the driver.
To mitigate this issue, remove the existing port assumptions and transition
the code to support more than two ports. As a side effect, clarify the
interpretation of the DK_CXLFLASH_ALL_PORTS_ACTIVE flag.

Caching the adapter file descriptor and performing a close on behalf of
an application is a poor design. This is due to the fact that once a
file descriptor in installed, it is free to be altered without the
knowledge of the cxlflash driver. This can lead to inconsistencies
between the application and kernel. Furthermore, the nature of the
former design is more exploitable and thus should be abandoned.
To support applications performing a close on the adapter file that is
associated with a context, a new flag is introduced to the user API to
indicate to applications that they are responsible for the close
following the cleanup (detach) of a context. The documentation is also
updated to reflect this change in behavior.

Add support for physical LUN segmentation (virtual LUNs) to device
driver supporting the IBM CXL Flash adapter. This patch allows user
space applications to virtually segment a physical LUN into N virtual
LUNs, taking advantage of the translation features provided by this
adapter.

Add superpipe supporting infrastructure to device driver for the IBM CXL
Flash adapter. This patch allows userspace applications to take advantage
of the accelerated I/O features that this adapter provides and bypass the
traditional filesystem stack.
