ACPI: NFIT: Add runtime firmware activate support
Plumb the platform specific backend for the generic libnvdimm firmware
activate interface. Register dimm level operations to arm/disarm
activation, and register bus level operations to report the dynamic
platform-quiesce time relative to the number of dimms armed for firmware
activation.
A new nfit-specific bus attribute "firmware_activate_noidle" is added to
allow the activation to switch between platform enforced, and OS
opportunistic device quiesce. In other words, let the hibernate cycle
handle in-flight device-dma rather than the platform attempting to
increase PCI-E timeouts and the like.

The safe default is to let the platform force idle + devices since the kernel is already in a suspend state, and on + the chance that a driver does not properly quiesce bus-mastering + after a suspend callback the platform will handle it. However, + the activation might abort if, for example, platform firmware + determines that the activation time exceeds the max PCI-E + completion timeout. Since the platform does not know whether the + OS is running the activation from a suspend context it aborts, + but if the system owner trusts driver suspend callback to be + sufficient then 'firmware_activation_noidle' can be + enabled to bypass the activation abort.
