This commit adds driver implementation for PECI bus core into linux
driver framework.

PECI (Platform Environment Control Interface) is a one-wire bus interface
that provides a communication channel from Intel processors and chipset
components to external monitoring or control devices. PECI is designed to
support the following sideband functions:

* Processor and DRAM thermal management
  - Processor fan speed control is managed by comparing Digital Thermal
    Sensor (DTS) thermal readings acquired via PECI against the
    processor-specific fan speed control reference point, or TCONTROL. Both
    TCONTROL and DTS thermal readings are accessible via the processor PECI
    client. These variables are referenced to a common temperature, the TCC
    activation point, and are both defined as negative offsets from that
    reference.
  - PECI based access to the processor package configuration space provides
    a means for Baseboard Management Controllers (BMC) or other platform
    management devices to actively manage the processor and memory power
    and thermal features.

* Platform Manageability
  - Platform manageability functions including thermal, power, and error
    monitoring. Note that platform 'power' management includes monitoring
    and control for both the processor and DRAM subsystem to assist with
    data center power limiting.
  - PECI allows read access to certain error registers in the processor MSR
    space and status monitoring registers in the PCI configuration space
    within the processor and downstream devices.
  - PECI permits writes to certain registers in the processor PCI
    configuration space.

* Processor Interface Tuning and Diagnostics
  - Processor interface tuning and diagnostics capabilities
    (Intel Interconnect BIST). The processors Intel Interconnect Built In
    Self Test (Intel IBIST) allows for infield diagnostic capabilities in
    the Intel UPI and memory controller interfaces. PECI provides a port to
    execute these diagnostics via its PCI Configuration read and write
    capabilities.

* Failure Analysis
  - Output the state of the processor after a failure for analysis via
    Crashdump.

PECI uses a single wire for self-clocking and data transfer. The bus
requires no additional control lines. The physical layer is a self-clocked
one-wire bus that begins each bit with a driven, rising edge from an idle
level near zero volts. The duration of the signal driven high depends on
whether the bit value is a logic '0' or logic '1'. PECI also includes
variable data transfer rate established with every message. In this way, it
is highly flexible even though underlying logic is simple.

The interface design was optimized for interfacing between an Intel
processor and chipset components in both single processor and multiple
processor environments. The single wire interface provides low board
routing overhead for the multiple load connections in the congested routing
area near the processor and chipset components. Bus speed, error checking,
and low protocol overhead provides adequate link bandwidth and reliability
to transfer critical device operating conditions and configuration
information.

This implementation provides the basic framework to add PECI extensions to
the Linux bus and device models. A hardware specific 'Adapter' driver can
be attached to the PECI bus to provide sideband functions described above.
It is also possible to access all devices on an adapter from userspace
through the /dev interface. A device specific 'Client' driver also can be
attached to the PECI bus so each processor client's features can be
supported by the 'Client' driver through an adapter connection in the bus.

<content type='text'>
We have both vhost and virtio drivers that depend on vdpa.
It's easier to locate it at a top level directory otherwise
we run into issues e.g. if vhost is built-in but virtio
is modular.  Let's just move it up a level.

<content type='text'>
Since the driver now supports USB4 which is the standard going forward,
update the Kconfig entry to mention this and rename the entry from
CONFIG_THUNDERBOLT to CONFIG_USB4 instead to help people to find the
correct option if they want to enable USB4.

Also do the same for Thunderbolt network driver.

Pull staging and IIO driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big staging/iio driver update for 5.4-rc1.

  Lots of churn here, with a few driver/filesystems moving out of
  staging finally:

     - erofs moved out of staging

     - greybus core code moved out of staging

  Along with that, a new filesytem has been added:

     - extfat

  to provide support for those devices requiring that filesystem (i.e.
  transfer devices to/from windows systems or printers)

  Other than that, there a number of new IIO drivers, and lots and lots
  and lots of staging driver cleanups and minor fixes as people continue
  to dig into those for easy changes.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
  issues"

Pull USB updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of USB patches for 5.4-rc1.

  Two major chunks of code are moving out of the tree and into the
  staging directory, uwb and wusb (wireless USB support), because there
  are no devices that actually use this protocol anymore, and what we
  have today probably doesn't work at all given that the maintainers
  left many many years ago. So move it to staging where it will be
  removed in a few releases if no one screams.

  Other than that, lots of little things. The usual gadget and xhci and
  usb serial driver updates, along with a bunch of sysfs file cleanups
  due to the driver core changes to support that. Nothing really major,
  just constant forward progress.

The Greybus core code has been stable for a long time, and has been
shipping for many years in millions of phones.  With the advent of a
recent Google Summer of Code project, and a number of new devices in the
works from various companies, it is time to get the core greybus code
out of staging as it really is going to be with us for a while.

The IOC3 is a multi-function chip seen on SGI SN2 and some SGI
MIPS systems.  This removes the last bit of SN2 specific support,
while the bits used by the mips ports are still around (and being
substantially rewritten at the moment).

out of the real part of the kernel and into the drivers/staging/
location with plans to remove it entirely in a few releases.
