Define interfaces (wrappers) to the 'copy' and 'paste'
instructions (which are new in PowerISA 3.0). These are intended to be
used to by NX driver(s) to submit Coprocessor Request Blocks (CRBs) to
the NX hardware engines.

Define an interface to open a VAS send window. This interface is
intended to be used the Nest Accelerator (NX) driver(s) to open
a send window and use it to submit compression/encryption requests
to a VAS receive window.
The receive window, identified by the [vasid, cop] parameters, must
already be open in VAS (i.e connected to an NX engine).

Define the vas_win_close() interface which should be used to close a
send or receive windows.
While the hardware configurations required to open send and receive
windows differ, the configuration to close a window is the same for
both. So we use a single interface to close the window.

Define the vas_rx_win_open() interface. This interface is intended to
be used by the Nest Accelerator (NX) driver(s) to setup receive
windows for one or more NX engines (which implement compression &
encryption algorithms in the hardware).
Follow-on patches will provide an interface to close the window and to
open a send window that kernel subsystems can use to access the NX
engines.
The interface to open a receive window is expected to be invoked for
each instance of VAS in the system.

Define helpers to allocate/free VAS window objects. These will be used
in follow-on patches when opening/closing windows.

Define helpers to initialize window context registers of the VAS
hardware. These will be used in follow-on patches when opening/closing
VAS windows.

Define some helper functions to access the MMIO regions. We use these
in follow-on patches to read/write VAS hardware registers. They are
also used to later issue 'paste' instructions to submit requests to
the NX hardware engines.

Implement vas_init() and vas_exit() functions for a new VAS module.
This VAS module is essentially a library for other device drivers
and kernel users of the NX coprocessors like NX-842 and NX-GZIP.
In the future this will be extended to add support for user space
to access the NX coprocessors.
VAS is currently only supported with 64K page size.
