Adds a driver that implements support for enabling and accessing PAPR
SCM regions. Unfortunately due to how the PAPR interface works we can't
use the existing of_pmem driver (yet) because:
a) The guest is required to use the H_SCM_BIND_MEM h-call to add
add the SCM region to it's physical address space, and
b) There is currently no mechanism for relating a bare of_pmem region
to the backing DIMM (or not-a-DIMM for our case).
Both of these are easily handled by rolling the functionality into a
seperate driver so here we are...

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
