Add NX-842 frontend that allows using either the pSeries platform or
PowerNV platform driver (to be added by later patch) for the NX-842
hardware. Update the MAINTAINERS file to include the new filenames.
Update Kconfig files to clarify titles and descriptions, and correct
dependencies.

Move the entire NX-842 driver for the pSeries platform from the file
nx-842.c to nx-842-pseries.c. This is required by later patches that
add NX-842 support for the PowerNV platform.
This patch does not alter the content of the pSeries NX-842 driver at
all, it only changes the filename.

This patch adds the driver for interacting with the 842
compression accelerator on IBM Power7+ systems.
The device is a child of the Platform Facilities Option (PFO)
and shows up as a child of the IBM VIO bus.
The compression/decompression API takes the same arguments
as existing compression methods like lzo and deflate. The 842
hardware operates on 4K hardware pages and the driver breaks up
input on 4K boundaries to submit it to the hardware accelerator.

This patch creates a new submenu for the NX cryptographic
hardware accelerator and breaks the NX options into their own
Kconfig file under drivers/crypto/nx/Kconfig.
This will permit additional NX functionality to be easily
and more cleanly added in the future without touching
drivers/crypto/Makefile|Kconfig.
