The user can change the QoS credits dynamically with the
management console interface which notifies OS with sysfs. After
returning from the OS interface successfully, the management
console updates the hypervisor. Since the VAS capabilities in
the hypervisor is not updated when the OS gets the update,
the kernel is using the old total credits value from the
hypervisor. Fix this issue by using the new QoS credits
from the userspace instead of depending on VAS capabilities
from the hypervisor.

Since the VAS windows belong to the VAS hardware resource, the
hypervisor expects the partition to close them on source partition
and reopen them after the partition migrated on the destination
machine.
This handler is called before pseries_suspend() to close these
windows and again invoked after migration. All active windows
for both default and QoS types will be closed and mark them
inactive and reopened after migration with this handler.
During the migration, the user space receives paste instruction
failure if it issues copy/paste on these inactive windows.
The current migration implementation does not freeze the user
space and applications can continue to open VAS windows while
migration is in progress. So when the migration_in_progress flag
is set, VAS open window API returns -EBUSY.

pseries supports two types of credits - Default (uses normal priority
FIFO) and Qality of service (QoS uses high priority FIFO). The user
decides the number of QoS credits and sets this value with HMC
interface. The total credits for QoS capabilities can be changed
dynamically with HMC interface which invokes drmgr to communicate
to the kernel.
This patch creats 'update_total_credits' entry for QoS capabilities
so that drmgr command can write the new target QoS credits in sysfs.
Instead of using this value, the kernel gets the new QoS capabilities
from the hypervisor whenever update_total_credits is updated to make
sure sync with the QoS target credits in the hypervisor.

The hypervisor provides the available VAS GZIP capabilities such
as default or QoS window type and the target available credits in
each type. This patch creates sysfs entries and exports the target,
used and the available credits for each feature.
This interface can be used by the user space to determine the credits
usage or to set the target credits in the case of QoS type (for DLPAR).

The hypervisor assigns vas credits (windows) for each LPAR based
on the number of cores configured in that system. The OS is
expected to release credits when cores are removed, and may
allocate more when cores are added. So there is a possibility of
using excessive credits (windows) in the LPAR and the hypervisor
expects the system to close the excessive windows so that NX load
can be equally distributed across all LPARs in the system.
When the OS closes the excessive windows in the hypervisor,
it sets the window status inactive and invalidates window
virtual address mapping. The user space receives paste instruction
failure if any NX requests are issued on the inactive window.
Then the user space can use with the available open windows or
retry NX requests until this window active again.
This patch also adds the notifier for core removal/add to close
windows in the hypervisor if the system lost credits (core
removal) and reopen windows in the hypervisor when the previously
lost credits are available.

The kernel sets the VAS window with PID when it is opened in
the hypervisor. During DLPAR operation, windows can be closed and
reopened in the hypervisor when the credit is available. So saves
this PID in pseries_vas_window struct when the window is opened
initially and reuse it later during DLPAR operation.

nr_total/nr_used_credits provides credits usage to user space
via sysfs and the same interface can be used on PowerNV in
future. Changed with proper naming so that applicable on both
pseries and PowerNV.
