GenWQE: Support blocking when DDCB queue is busy
When the GenWQE hardware queue was busy, the driver returned simply
-EBUSY. This caused polling by applications which increased the load
on the already busy system. This change implements the possiblity to
sleep on a waitqueue instead when the DDCB queue is busy. The
requestor is woken up when there is free space on the queue again.
The old way to get -EBUSY is still available if the device is openend
with O_NONBLOCKING. The default is now blocking behavior.

GenWQE: Add support for EEH error recovery
This patch implements the callbacks and functions necessary to have EEH
recovery support.
It adds a config option to enable or disable explicit calls to trigger
platform specific mechanisms on error recovery paths. This option is
enabled by default only on PPC64 systems and can be overritten via
debugfs. If this option is enabled, on the error recovery path the
driver will call pci_channel_offline() to check for error condition and
issue non-raw MMIO reads to trigger early EEH detection in case of
hardware failures. This is necessary since the driver MMIO helper
funtions use raw accessors.

GenWQE: Fix multithreading problems
When being used in a multithreaded application there were problems
with memory pages/cachelines accessed by multiple threads/cpus at the
same time, while doing DMA transfers to/from those. To avoid such
situations this fix is creating a copy of the first and the last page
if it is not fully used. The data is copied from user-space into those
pages and results are copied back when the DDCB-request is
successfully finished.

GenWQE: Fix endian issues detected by sparse
Fengguang Wu used CF=-D__CHECK_ENDIAN__ to check the GenWQE driver for
endian issues. Sparse found a couple of those. Most of them were caused
by not correctly handling __be64/32 and __u64/32. Those I was able to
fix with appropriate castings.
One more serious issue was the ATS entry in struct genwqe_ddcb_cmd.
The kernel expected it in big-endian, but the type was defined __u64.
I decided that it is better to keep the interface consistent using
host endian byte-odering instead of having a mixture. With this change
the kernel likes to see host endian byte order for the ATS entry. That
would have been an interface change, if someone would have used the
driver already. Since this is not the case, I hope it is ok to fix it
now.
For the genqwe_readq/writeq/readl/writel functions I enforced the casts.
It still complains, as far as I can see, about some copy_to/from_user()
usages:

GenWQE Character device and DDCB queue
The GenWQE card itself provides access to a generic work queue into
which the work can be put, which should be executed, e.g. compression
or decompression request, or whatever the card was configured to do.
Each request comes with a set of input data (ASV) and will produce some
output data (ASIV). The request will also contain a sequence number,
some timestamps and a command code/subcode plus some fields for hardware-/
software-interaction.
A request can contain references to blocks of memory. Since the card
requires DMA-addresses of that memory, the driver provides two ways to
solve that task:
1) The drivers mmap() will allocate some DMAable memory for the user.
The driver has a lookup table such that the virtual userspace
address can properly be replaced and checked.
2) The user allocates memory and the driver will pin/unpin that
memory and setup a scatter gatherlist with matching DMA addresses.
Currently work requests are synchronous.
