Subject: [PATCH kernel v4 00/11] powerpc/powernv/npu: Enable PCI pass through for NVLink

IBM POWER8 NVlink systems contain usual Tesla K40-ish GPUs but also
contain a couple of really fast links between GPU and CPU. These links
are exposed to the userspace by the OPAL firmware as bridges.
In order to make these links work when GPU is passed to the guest,
these bridges need to be passed as well; otherwise performance will
degrade. More details are in 11/11.

This reworks the existing NPU support in the powernv platform and adds
VFIO support on top of that.

v4 has new patch "powerpc/powernv/npu: Add set/unset window" and bunch of
cleanups.

"vfio_pci: Test for extended capabilities if config space > 256 bytes" is
included here if anyone decides to test the patchset which will crash
without it.

This was tested on POWER8NVL platform; pvr=0x004c0100.

Please comment. Thanks.

Alex, I guess we will need your "acked-by" for
"vfio/spapr: Relax the IOMMU compatibility check" to proceed.
