This patch updates the SCIF header file and IOCTL interface with the
changes required to support RMAs. APIs added include the ability to
pin pages and register those pages with SCIF. SCIF kernel clients can
also add references to remote registered pages and access them via the
CPU. The user space IOCTL interface has been updated to enable SCIF
registration, RDMA/CPU copies and fence APIs for RDMA synchronization.

Add support for registration/de-registration of kernel mode SCIF
clients. SCIF clients are probed with new and existing SCIF peer
devices. Similarly the client remove method is called when SCIF
peer devices are removed.
Changes to SCIF peer device framework necessitated by supporting
kernel mode SCIF clients are also included in this patch.

SCIF poll allows both user and kernel mode clients to wait on
events on a SCIF endpoint. These events include availability of
space or data in the SCIF ring buffer, availability of connection
requests on a listening endpoint and completion of connections
when using async connects.

This patch introduces the SCIF documentation in the header file
and describes the IOCTL interface for user mode. mic_overview.txt
is updated with documentation on SCIF and a new document
