net/smc: manage system EID in SMC stack instead of ISM driver The System EID (SEID) is an internal EID that is used by the SMCv2 software stack that has a predefined and constant value representing the s390 physical machine that the OS is executing on. So it should be managed by SMC stack instead of ISM driver and be consistent for all ISMv2 device (including virtual ISM devices) on s390 architecture.

net/smc: compatible with 128-bits extended GID of virtual ISM device According to virtual ISM support feature defined by SMCv2.1, GIDs of virtual ISM device are UUIDs defined by RFC4122, which are 128-bits long. So some adaptation work is required. And note that the GIDs of existing platform firmware ISM devices still remain 64-bits long.

Upon review, this commit was found to be incorrect for the reasons below, so it must be reverted. It will be fixed up "correctly" in a later kernel change.

net/smc: add base infrastructure for SMC-D and ISM SMC supports two variants: SMC-R and SMC-D. For data transport, SMC-R uses RDMA devices, SMC-D uses so-called Internal Shared Memory (ISM) devices. An ISM device only allows shared memory communication between SMC instances on the same machine. For example, this allows virtual machines on the same host to communicate via SMC without RDMA devices. This patch adds the base infrastructure for SMC-D and ISM devices to the existing SMC code. It contains the following: * ISM driver interface: This interface allows an ISM driver to register ISM devices in SMC. In the process, the driver provides a set of device ops for each device. SMC uses these ops to execute SMC specific operations on or transfer data over the device. * Core SMC-D link group, connection, and buffer support: Link groups, SMC connections and SMC buffers (in smc_core) are extended to support SMC-D. * SMC type checks: Some type checks are added to prevent using SMC-R specific code for SMC-D and vice versa. To actually use SMC-D, additional changes to pnetid, CLC, CDC, etc. are required. These are added in follow-up patches.
