cxl: Add preliminary workaround for CX4 interrupt limitation
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.
