ACPI: NFIT: Add runtime firmware activate support

Plumb the platform specific backend for the generic libnvdimm firmware
activate interface. Register dimm level operations to arm/disarm
activation, and register bus level operations to report the dynamic
platform-quiesce time relative to the number of dimms armed for firmware
activation.

A new nfit-specific bus attribute "firmware_activate_noidle" is added to
allow the activation to switch between platform enforced, and OS
opportunistic device quiesce. In other words, let the hibernate cycle
handle in-flight device-dma rather than the platform attempting to
increase PCI-E timeouts and the like.

tools/testing/nvdimm: Emulate firmware activation commands

Augment the existing firmware update emulation to track activations and
validate proper update vs activate sequencing.

The DIMM firmware activate capability has a concept of a maximum amount
of time platform firmware will quiesce the system relative to how many
DIMMs are being activated in parallel. Simulate that DIMM activation
happens serially, 1 second per-DIMM, and limit the max at 3 seconds. The
nfit_test0 bus emulates 5 DIMMs so it will take 2 activations to update
all DIMMs.

ACPI: NFIT: Define runtime firmware activation commands

Platform reboots are expensive. Towards reducing downtime to apply
firmware updates the Intel NVDIMM command definition is growing support
for applying live firmware updates that only require temporarily
suspending memory traffic instead of a full reboot.

Follow-on commits add support for triggering firmware activation, this
patch only defines the commands, adds probe support, and validates that
they are blocked via the ioctl path. The ioctl-path block ensures that
the OS is in charge since these commands have side effects only the OS
can handle. Specifically firmware activation may cause the memory
controller to be quiesced on the order of 100s of milliseconds. In that
case Linux ensure the activation only takes place while the OS is in a
suspend state.

acpi/nfit, libnvdimm: Introduce nvdimm_security_ops

Some NVDIMMs, like the ones defined by the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL command
set, expose a security capability to lock the DIMMs at poweroff and
require a passphrase to unlock them. The security model is derived from
ATA security. In anticipation of other DIMMs implementing a similar
scheme, and to abstract the core security implementation away from the
device-specific details, introduce nvdimm_security_ops.

Initially only a status retrieval operation, ->state(), is defined,
along with the base infrastructure and definitions for future
operations.

acpi/nfit: Add support for Intel DSM 1.8 commands

Add command definition for security commands defined in Intel DSM
specification v1.8 [1]. This includes "get security state", "set
passphrase", "unlock unit", "freeze lock", "secure erase", "overwrite",
"overwrite query", "master passphrase enable/disable", and "master
erase", . Since this adds several Intel definitions, move the relevant
bits to their own header.

These commands mutate physical data, but that manipulation is not cache
coherent. The requirement to flush and invalidate caches makes these
commands unsuitable to be called from userspace, so extra logic is added
to detect and block these commands from being submitted via the ioctl
command submission path.

Lastly, the commands may contain sensitive key material that should not
be dumped in a standard debug session. Update the nvdimm-command
payload-dump facility to move security command payloads behind a
default-off compile time switch.

acpi, nfit: Collect shutdown status

Some NVDIMMs, in addition to providing an indication of whether the
previous shutdown was clean, also provide a running count of lifetime
dirty-shutdown events for the device. In anticipation of this
functionality appearing on more devices arrange for the nfit driver to
retrieve / cache this data at DIMM discovery time, and export it via
sysfs.
