ACPI: NFIT: Define runtime firmware activation commands
Platform reboots are expensive. Towards reducing downtime to apply
firmware updates the Intel NVDIMM command definition is growing support
for applying live firmware updates that only require temporarily
suspending memory traffic instead of a full reboot.
Follow-on commits add support for triggering firmware activation, this
patch only defines the commands, adds probe support, and validates that
they are blocked via the ioctl path. The ioctl-path block ensures that
the OS is in charge since these commands have side effects only the OS
can handle. Specifically firmware activation may cause the memory
controller to be quiesced on the order of 100s of milliseconds. In that
case Linux ensure the activation only takes place while the OS is in a
suspend state.
