misc: mic: SCIF connections APIs i.e. accept and connect
SCIF connection APIs which establish a SCIF connection between a pair of SCIF endpoints. A SCIF connection consists of a dedicated queue-pair between the endpoints. Client messages are sent over the queue-pair whereas the signaling associated with the message is multiplexed over the node queue-pair. Similarly other control messages such as exposing registered memory are also sent over the node queue-pair. The SCIF endpoints must be in connected state to exchange messages, register memory, map remote memory and trigger DMA transfers. SCIF connections can be set up asynchronously or synchronously. Thanks to Johnnie S Peters for authoring parts of this patch during early bring up of the SCIF driver.
