/*
 * Cross Partition Communication (XPC) support - standard version.
 *
 *	XPC provides a message passing capability that crosses partition
 *	boundaries. This module is made up of two parts:
 *
 *	    partition	This part detects the presence/absence of other
 *			partitions. It provides a heartbeat and monitors
 *			the heartbeats of other partitions.
 *
 *	    channel	This part manages the channels and sends/receives
 *			messages across them to/from other partitions.
 *
 *	There are a couple of additional functions residing in XP, which
 *	provide an interface to XPC for its users.
 *
 *
 *	Caveats:
 *
 *	  . We currently have no way to determine which nasid an IPI came
 *	    from. Thus, xpc_IPI_send() does a remote AMO write followed by
 *	    an IPI. The AMO indicates where data is to be pulled from, so
 *	    after the IPI arrives, the remote partition checks the AMO word.
 *	    The IPI can actually arrive before the AMO however, so other code
 *	    must periodically check for this case. Also, remote AMO operations
 *	    do not reliably time out. Thus we do a remote PIO read solely to
 *	    know whether the remote partition is down and whether we should
 *	    stop sending IPIs to it. This remote PIO read operation is set up
 *	    in a special nofault region so SAL knows to ignore (and cleanup)
 *	    any errors due to the remote AMO write, PIO read, and/or PIO
 *	    write operations.
 *
 *	    If/when new hardware solves this IPI problem, we should abandon
 *	    the current approach.
 *
