At present, the cxlflash driver only supports hardware with two FC ports. The
code was initially designed with this assumption and is dependent on having
two FC ports - adding more ports will break logic within the driver.
To mitigate this issue, remove the existing port assumptions and transition
the code to support more than two ports. As a side effect, clarify the
interpretation of the DK_CXLFLASH_ALL_PORTS_ACTIVE flag.

Caching the adapter file descriptor and performing a close on behalf of
an application is a poor design. This is due to the fact that once a
file descriptor in installed, it is free to be altered without the
knowledge of the cxlflash driver. This can lead to inconsistencies
between the application and kernel. Furthermore, the nature of the
former design is more exploitable and thus should be abandoned.
To support applications performing a close on the adapter file that is
associated with a context, a new flag is introduced to the user API to
indicate to applications that they are responsible for the close
following the cleanup (detach) of a context. The documentation is also
updated to reflect this change in behavior.

Add support for physical LUN segmentation (virtual LUNs) to device
driver supporting the IBM CXL Flash adapter. This patch allows user
space applications to virtually segment a physical LUN into N virtual
LUNs, taking advantage of the translation features provided by this
adapter.

Add superpipe supporting infrastructure to device driver for the IBM CXL
Flash adapter. This patch allows userspace applications to take advantage
of the accelerated I/O features that this adapter provides and bypass the
traditional filesystem stack.
