This patch adds the SCIF kernel node QP control messages required to
enable SCIF RMAs. Examples of such node QP control messages include
registration, unregistration, remote memory allocation requests,
remote memory unmap and SCIF remote fence requests.
The patch also updates the SCIF driver with minor changes required to
enable SCIF RMAs by adding the new files to the build, initializing
RMA specific information during SCIF endpoint creation, reserving SCIF
DMA channels, initializing SCIF RMA specific global data structures,
adding the IOCTL hooks required for SCIF RMAs and updating RMA
specific debugfs hooks.

SCIF poll allows both user and kernel mode clients to wait on
events on a SCIF endpoint. These events include availability of
space or data in the SCIF ring buffer, availability of connection
requests on a listening endpoint and completion of connections
when using async connects.

SCIF messaging APIs which allow sending messages between the SCIF
endpoints via a byte stream based ring buffer which has been
optimized to avoid reads across PCIe. The SCIF messaging APIs
are typically used for short < 1024 byte messages for best
performance while the RDMA APIs which will be submitted in a future
patch series is recommended for larger transfers. The node
enumeration API enables a user to query for the number of nodes
online in the SCIF network and their node ids.

SCIF connection APIs which establish a SCIF connection between
a pair of SCIF endpoints. A SCIF connection consists of a
dedicated queue-pair between the endpoints. Client messages are
sent over the queue-pair whereas the signaling associated with the
message is multiplexed over the node queue-pair. Similarly other
control messages such as exposing registered memory are also sent
over the node queue-pair. The SCIF endpoints must be in connected
state to exchange messages, register memory, map remote memory and
trigger DMA transfers. SCIF connections can be set up
asynchronously or synchronously.
Thanks to Johnnie S Peters for authoring parts of this patch during
early bring up of the SCIF driver.

SCIF character device file operations and kernel APIs for opening and
closing a user and kernel mode SCIF endpoint. This patch also enables
binding to a SCIF port and listening for incoming SCIF connections.
