[PATCH v3 3/6] x86/asm: add enqcmds() to support ENQCMDS instruction

[Dave Jiang]

Currently, the MOVDIR64B instruction is used to atomically
submit 64-byte work descriptors to devices. Although it can
encounter errors like faults, MOVDIR64B can not report back on
errors from the device itself. This means that MOVDIR64B users
need to separately interact with a device to see if a descriptor
was successfully queued, which slows down device interactions.

ENQCMD and ENQCMDS also atomically submit 64-byte work
descriptors to devices. But, they *can* report back errors
directly from the device, such as if the device was busy, or
there was an error made in composing the descriptor. This
immediate feedback from the submission instruction itself
reduces the number of interactions with the device and can
greatly increase efficiency.

ENQCMD can be used at any privilege level, but can effectively
only submit work on behalf of the current process. ENQCMDS is a
ring0-only instruction and can explicitly specify a process
context instead of being tied to the current process or needing
to reprogram the IA32_PASID MSR.

Use ENQCMDS for work submission within the kernel because a
Process Address ID (PASID) is setup to translate the kernel
virtual address space. This PASID is provided to ENQCMDS from
the descriptor structure submitted to the device and not retrieved
from IA32_PASID MSR, which is setup for the current user address space.

See Intel Software Developerâs Manual for more information on the
instructions.

Add enqcmds() in x86 io.h instead of special_insns.h. MOVDIR64B
instruction can be used for other purposes. A wrapper was introduced
in io.h for its command submission usage. ENQCMDS has a single
purpose of submit 64-byte commands to supported devices and should
be called directly.
