    cxl: Add preliminary workaround for CX4 interrupt limitation · cbce0917
    Ian Munsie authored
    The Mellanox CX4 has a hardware limitation where only 4 bits of the
    AFU interrupt number can be passed to the XSL when sending an interrupt,
    limiting it to only 15 interrupts per context (AFU interrupt number 0 is
    invalid).
    
    In order to overcome this, we will allocate additional contexts linked
    to the default context as extra address space for the extra interrupts -
    this will be implemented in the next patch.
    
    This patch adds the preliminary support to allow this, by way of adding
    a linked list in the context structure that we use to keep track of the
    contexts dedicated to interrupts, and an API to simultaneously iterate
    over the related context structures, AFU interrupt numbers and hardware
    interrupt numbers. The point of using a single API to iterate these is
    to hide some of the details of the iteration from external code, and to
    reduce the number of APIs that need to be exported via base.c to allow
    built in code to call.
