Alistair Popple 1ab66d1fba 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.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
