Simplify the pSeries NX-842 driver: do not expect incoming buffers to be
exactly page-sized; do not break up input buffers to compress smaller
blocks; do not use any internal headers in the compressed data blocks;
remove the software decompression implementation; implement the pSeries
nx842_constraints.
This changes the pSeries NX-842 driver to perform constraints-based
compression so that it only needs to compress one entire input block at a
time. This removes the need for it to split input data blocks into
multiple compressed data sections in the output buffer, and removes the
need for any extra header info in the compressed data; all that is moved
(in a later patch) into the main crypto 842 driver. Additionally, the
842 software decompression implementation is no longer needed here, as
the crypto 842 driver will use the generic software 842 decompression
function as a fallback if any hardware 842 driver fails.

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.

Move the entire NX-842 driver for the pSeries platform from the file
nx-842.c to nx-842-pseries.c. This is required by later patches that
add NX-842 support for the PowerNV platform.
This patch does not alter the content of the pSeries NX-842 driver at
all, it only changes the filename.
