Endianness issues are now consistent as per the documentation in
host/mic_virtio.h. Sparse warnings related to endianness are also fixed.
Note that the MIC driver implementation assumes that the host can be
both BE or LE whereas the card is always LE.Reported-by: Fengguang Wu

Avoid declaring ALIGN() and __aligned() in
include/uapi/linux/mic_common.h since they pollute user space
namespace. Also, mic_aligned_size() can be simply replaced simply by
sizeof() since all structures where mic_aligned_size() is used are
declared using __attribute__ ((aligned(8)));--

Subject: Namespace pollution in mic_common.hThis puts two macros, ALIGN() and __aligned(), into arbitrary user space
namespace. This really isn't safe or acceptable, especially since those
symbols are highly generic.

When these structures are forced-aligned, they will in fact have padding
automatically added by the compiler to an 8-byte boundary anyway, so
mic_aligned_size() does nothing.

MIC user space daemon poll's on sysfs changes. The documentation for
sysfs_poll(...) in fs/sysfs/file.c states that "Once poll/select
indicates that the value has changed, you need to close and re-open the
file, or seek to 0 and read again". This step was missed out earlier and
resulted in the daemon spinning continuously rather than getting blocked
in 'poll'. This bug was exposed by commit aea585ef8fa65163 introduced as
part of sysfs changes in 3.13-rc1. A seek to 0 has been introduced to
fix it.Reviewed-by: Sudeep Dutt

This patch enables support for OSPM suspend and resume in the MIC
driver. During a host suspend event, the driver performs an
orderly shutdown of the cards if they are online. Upon resume, any
cards that were previously online before suspend are rebooted.
The driver performs an orderly shutdown of the card primarily to
ensure that applications in the card are terminated and mounted
devices are safely un-mounted before the card is powered down in
the event of an OSPM suspend.The driver makes use of the MIC daemon to accomplish OSPM suspend
and resume. The driver registers a PM notifier per MIC device.
The devices get notified synchronously during PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE and
PM_POST_SUSPEND phases.During the PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE phase, the driver performs one of the
following three tasks.
1) If the card is 'offline', the driver sets the card to a
'suspended' state and returns.
2) If the card is 'online', the driver initiates card shutdown by
setting the card state to suspending. This notifies the MIC
daemon which invokes shutdown and sets card state to 'suspended'.
The driver returns after the shutdown is complete.
3) If the card is already being shutdown, possibly by a host user
space application, the driver sets the card state to 'suspended'
and returns after the shutdown is complete.During the PM_POST_SUSPEND phase, the driver simply notifies the
daemon and returns. The daemon boots those cards that were previously
online during the suspend phase.Signed-off-by: Ashutosh Dixit

This patch introduces a sample user space daemon which
implements the virtio device backends on the host. The daemon
creates/removes/configures virtio device backends by communicating with
the Intel MIC Host Driver. The virtio devices currently supported are
virtio net, virtio console and virtio block. Virtio net supports TSO/GSO.
The daemon also monitors card shutdown status and takes appropriate actions
like killing the virtio backends and resetting the card upon card shutdown
and crashes.Co-author: Ashutosh Dixit
