b2a65138b5 GenWQE Sysfs interfaces
Sysfs interfaces for the GenWQE card. There are attributes to query
the version of the bitstream as well as some for the driver. For
debugging, please also see the debugfs interfaces of this driver.

eaf4722d46 GenWQE Character device and DDCB queue
The GenWQE card itself provides access to a generic work queue into
which the work can be put, which should be executed, e.g. compression
or decompression request, or whatever the card was configured to do.

Each request comes with a set of input data (ASV) and will produce some
output data (ASIV). The request will also contain a sequence number,
some timestamps and a command code/subcode plus some fields for hardware-/
software-interaction.

A request can contain references to blocks of memory. Since the card
requires DMA-addresses of that memory, the driver provides two ways to
solve that task:
  1) The drivers mmap() will allocate some DMAable memory for the user.
     The driver has a lookup table such that the virtual userspace
     address can properly be replaced and checked.
  2) The user allocates memory and the driver will pin/unpin that
     memory and setup a scatter gatherlist with matching DMA addresses.

Currently work requests are synchronous.
