Add a PCI hotplug controller driver for the OCTEON PCIe device. The OCTEON
PCIe device is a multi-function device where function 0 serves as the PCI
hotplug controller.
There is an out-of-band management console interface to firmware running on
function 0 whereby an administrator can disable functions to save power or
enable them with one of several personalities (virtio-net, virtio-crypto,
NVMe, etc) for the other functions. Function 0 initiates hotplug events
handled by this driver when the other functions are enabled or disabled.

+-------------------------+
The hotplug controller driver enables hotplugging of non-controller
functions within the same device. During probing, the driver removes
the non-controller functions and registers them as PCI hotplug slots.
These slots are added back by the driver, only upon request from the
device firmware.
The controller uses MSI-X interrupts to notify the host of hotplug
events initiated by the OCTEON firmware. Additionally, the driver
allows users to enable or disable individual functions via sysfs slot
entries, as provided by the PCI hotplug framework.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
