PowerVM introduces two different type of credits: Default and Quality
of service (QoS).
The total number of default credits available on each LPAR depends
on CPU resources configured. But these credits can be shared or
over-committed across LPARs in shared mode which can result in
paste command failure (RMA_busy). To avoid NX HW contention, the
hypervisor ntroduces QoS credit type which makes sure guaranteed
access to NX esources. The system admins can assign QoS credits
or each LPAR via HMC.
Default credit type is used to allocate a VAS window by default as
on PowerVM implementation. But the process can pass
VAS_TX_WIN_FLAG_QOS_CREDIT flag with VAS_TX_WIN_OPEN ioctl to open
QoS type window.

uapi headers should be self contained, so add an include of
linux/types.h.

Define the VAS_TX_WIN_OPEN ioctl interface for NX GZIP access
from user space. This interface is used to open GZIP send window and
mmap region which can be used by userspace to send requests to NX
directly with copy/paste instructions.
