Subject: [PATCH v5 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.

Changelog:
v5:
  Remove stray brace
  Fix bad rename of ocxl_ioctl_platform to ocxl_ioctl_features
v4:
  Remove the "unique" statement from the set_thread_tidr function and
    move the text explaining why it is safe from the commit message
    to the function description
v3:
  Fix references to POWER9
  Remove stray whitespace edit from docs
  Add more details to commit message for "use task_pid_nr()"
  Retitle patch 6 to indicate OCXL rather than CPU features
v2:
  Rename get_platform IOCTL to get_features
  Move stray edit from patch 1 to patch 3

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 POWER9
  ocxl: Add an IOCTL so userspace knows what OCXL features are available
  ocxl: Document new OCXL IOCTLs
