Primary channels are distributed evenly across all vcpus we have. When the host
asks us to create subchannels it usually makes us num_cpus-1 offers and we are
supposed to distribute the work evenly among the channel itself and all its
subchannels. Make sure they are all assigned to different vcpus.

We need to call init_vp_index() after we added the channel to the appropriate
list (global or subchannel) to be able to use this information when assigning
the channel to the particular vcpu. To do so we need to move a couple of
functions around. The only real change is the init_vp_index() call. This is a
small refactoring without a functional change.

receiving an error. The cleanup should be done on all failure paths. We also need
to avoid returning open_info->response.open_result.status as the return value as

the switch from netlink to chardev operational mode is supported.

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.

SCIF ring buffer is a single producer, single consumer byte stream
ring buffer optimized for avoiding reads across the PCIe bus while
adding the required barriers and hardware workarounds for the MIC
Coprocessor. The ring buffer is used to implement a receive queue for
SCIF driver messaging between two nodes and for byte stream messaging
between SCIF endpoints. The existing in-kernel ring buffer was not
reused since it has not been designed for our use across the PCIe bus
where each node runs an independent OS. Each SCIF node has a receive
queue for every other SCIF node, and each connected endpoint has a
receive queue for messages from its peer. This pair of receive
queues is referred to as a SCIF queue pair.
