This series optimizes opal_flash_op's by breaking the buffer sizes
into smaller chunks.  The IPMI window movements are re-worked to not re-enter
OPAL since the poller design is a limiting factor.  The smaller buffer
chunk sizes allow operations to be re-queued, which allows OPAL
to jump back out to Linux to prevent RCU or scheduler issues.

v2:
Patch 7 fixed irqmask handling
Patch 8 removed (the SuperIO handling, misunderstanding clarified)
Patch 12 fixed root bug for ipmi timer scheduling
Patch 13 added log helpers

v1:
Patch 1-5 were inherited from previous foundation work which provide
base enablement.

Patch 6 is the core of the re-work for IPMI window moving and re-queue'ing.

Patch 7 and 8 were issues addressed during test which surfaced and needed
fixing.

Patch 9-11 are additional logging which aides debug where timing paths
become critical.

Patch 12 enables the IPMI messages to be efficiently returned since
re-queues need to be turned around more readily.



Cyril Bur (4):
  core/flash: Allow OPAL flash calls for size equal to flash
  core/flash: Make flash_reserve() and flash_release() use any flash
  core/flash: Don't hold flash_lock for the entirety of an
    opal_flash_op()
  core/flash: Make opal_flash_op() actually asynchronous

Deb McLemore (8):
  hiomap: Enable Async IPMI messaging
  lpc: Fix lpc probe irqmask handling
  hw/bt: Add some more queue debug
  core/flash: Update some logging
  libflash/ipmi-hiomap: Add some debug logging
