platform/x86/intel/ifs: Add IFS sysfs interface

Implement sysfs interface to trigger ifs test for a specific cpu.
Additional interfaces related to checking the status of the
scan test and seeing the version of the loaded IFS binary
are also added.

The basic usage is as below.
- To start test, for example on cpu5:
echo 5 > /sys/devices/platform/intel_ifs/run_test
- To see the status of the last test
cat /sys/devices/platform/intel_ifs/status
- To see the version of the loaded scan binary
cat /sys/devices/platform/intel_ifs/image_version

platform/x86/intel/ifs: Add scan test support

In a core, the scan engine is shared between sibling cpus.

When a Scan test (for a particular core) is triggered by the user,
the scan chunks are executed on all the threads on the core using
stop_core_cpuslocked.

Scan may be aborted by some reasons. Scan test will be aborted in certain
circumstances such as when interrupt occurred or cpu does not have enough
power budget for scan. In this case, the kernel restart scan from the chunk
where it stopped. Scan will also be aborted when the test is failed. In
this case, the test is immediately stopped without retry.

platform/x86/intel/ifs: Read IFS firmware image

Driver probe routine allocates structure to communicate status
and parameters between functions in the driver. Also call
load_ifs_binary() to load the scan image file.

There is a separate scan image file for each processor family,
model, stepping combination. This is read from the static path:

/lib/firmware/intel/ifs/{ff-mm-ss}.scan

Step 1 in loading is to generate the correct path and use
request_firmware_direct() to load into memory.

Subsequent patches will use the IFS MSR interfaces to copy
the image to BIOS reserved memory and validate the SHA256
checksums.

platform/x86/intel/ifs: Add stub driver for In-Field Scan

Cloud Service Providers that operate fleets of servers have reported
[1] occasions where they can detect that a CPU has gone bad due to
effects like electromigration, or isolated manufacturing defects.
However, that detection method is A/B testing seemingly random
application failures looking for a pattern. In-Field Scan (IFS) is
a driver for a platform capability to load a crafted 'scan image'
to run targeted low level diagnostics outside of the CPU's architectural
error detection capabilities.

Stub version of driver just does initial part of check for the IFS
feature. MSR_IA32_CORE_CAPS must enumerate the presence of the
MSR_INTEGRITY_CAPS MSR.
