powerpc/powernv: Introduce address translation services for Nvlink2



Nvlink2 supports address translation services (ATS) allowing devices
to request address translations from an mmu known as the nest MMU
which is setup to walk the CPU page tables.

To access this functionality certain firmware calls are required to
setup and manage hardware context tables in the nvlink processing unit
(NPU). The NPU also manages forwarding of TLB invalidates (known as
address translation shootdowns/ATSDs) to attached devices.

This patch exports several methods to allow device drivers to register
a process id (PASID/PID) in the hardware tables and to receive
notification of when a device should stop issuing address translation
requests (ATRs). It also adds a fault handler to allow device drivers
to demand fault pages in.
