d8cac29b1d vfio-ccw: Introduce a new CRW region
This region provides a mechanism to pass a Channel Report Word
that affect vfio-ccw devices, and needs to be passed to the guest
for its awareness and/or processing.

The base driver (see crw_collect_info()) provides space for two
CRWs, as a subchannel event may have two CRWs chained together
(one for the ssid, one for the subchannel).  As vfio-ccw will
deal with everything at the subchannel level, provide space
for a single CRW to be transferred in one shot.

24c986748b vfio-ccw: Introduce a new schib region
The schib region can be used by userspace to get the subchannel-
information block (SCHIB) for the passthrough subchannel.
This can be useful to get information such as channel path
information via the SCHIB.PMCW fields.

d5afd5d135 vfio-ccw: add handling for async channel instructions
Add a region to the vfio-ccw device that can be used to submit
asynchronous I/O instructions. ssch continues to be handled by the
existing I/O region; the new region handles hsch and csch.

Interrupt status continues to be reported through the same channels
as for ssch.

6f52b16c5b License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with no license
Many user space API headers are missing licensing information, which
makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default are files without license information under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPLV2.  Marking them GPLV2 would exclude
them from being included in non GPLV2 code, which is obviously not
intended. The user space API headers fall under the syscall exception
which is in the kernels COPYING file:

   NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
   services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
   of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".

otherwise syscall usage would not be possible.

Update the files which contain no license information with an SPDX
license identifier.  The chosen identifier is 'GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note' which is the officially assigned identifier for the
Linux syscall exception.  SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.  See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.

060d2b5afc vfio: ccw: introduce ccw_io_region
To provide user-space a set of interfaces to:
1. pass in a ccw program to perform an I/O operation.
2. read back I/O results of the completed I/O operations.
We introduce an MMIO region for the vfio-ccw device here.

This region is defined to content:
1. areas to store arguments that an ssch required.
2. areas to store the I/O results.

Using pwrite/pread to the device on this region, a user-space program
could write/read data to/from the vfio-ccw device.
