misc: mic: depend on X86 for both host and card drivers. This fixes build failures seen on certain non X86 architectures. The card driver should correctly always depend on X86. The host driver can potentially work on non X86 architectures although it has never been built or validated in such configurations. The host driver dependency on X86 can be removed at some point in the future but this workaround is required for now.

Intel MIC Host Driver Changes for Virtio Devices. This patch introduces the host "Virtio over PCIe" interface for Intel MIC. It allows creating user space backends on the host and instantiating virtio devices for them on the Intel MIC card. It uses the existing VRINGH infrastructure in the kernel to access virtio rings from the host. A character device per MIC is exposed with IOCTL, mmap and poll callbacks. This allows the user space backend to: (a) add/remove a virtio device via a device page. (b) map (R/O) virtio rings and device page to user space. (c) poll for availability of data. (d) copy a descriptor or entire descriptor chain to/from the card. (e) modify virtio configuration. (f) handle virtio device reset. The buffers are copied over using CPU copies for this initial patch and host initiated MIC DMA support is planned for future patches. The avail and desc virtio rings are in host memory and the used ring is in card memory to maximize writes across PCIe for performance.

This enables Host Driver support for the Intel Many Integrated
Core (MIC) family of PCIe form factor coprocessor devices that
run a 64 bit Linux OS. The driver manages card OS state and
enables communication between host and card. Intel MIC X100
devices are currently supported.
If you are building a host kernel with an Intel MIC device then
say M (recommended) or Y, else say N. If unsure say N.
More information about the Intel MIC family as well as the Linux
OS and tools for MIC to use with this driver are available from
<http://software.intel.com/en-us/mic-developer>.
Intel MIC Card Driver for X100 family. This patch does the following: a) Initializes the Intel MIC X100 platform device and driver. b) Sets up support to handle shutdown requests from the host. c) Maps the device page after obtaining the device page address from the scratchpad registers updated by the host. d) Informs the host upon a card crash by registering a panic notifier. e) Informs the host upon a poweroff/halt event.

Intel MIC Card Driver Changes for Virtio Devices. This patch introduces the card "Virtio over PCIe" interface for Intel MIC. It allows virtio drivers on the card to communicate with their user space backends on the host via a device page. Ring 3 apps on the host can add, remove and configure virtio devices.
