Subject: [PATCH 0/7] ocxl: Implement Power9 as_notify/wait for OpenCAPI

From: Alastair D'Silva <alastair@...ilva.org>

The Power 9 as_notify/wait feature provides a lower latency way to
signal a thread that work is complete. This series enables the use of
this feature from OpenCAPI adapters, as well as addressing a potential
starvation issue when allocating thread IDs.

Alastair D'Silva (7):
  powerpc: Add TIDR CPU feature for Power9
  powerpc: Use TIDR CPU feature to control TIDR allocation
  powerpc: use task_pid_nr() for TID allocation
  ocxl: Rename pnv_ocxl_spa_remove_pe to clarify it's action
  ocxl: Expose the thread_id needed for wait on p9
  ocxl: Add an IOCTL so userspace knows which platform the kernel
    requires
  ocxl: Document new OCXL IOCTLs
