NX uses credit mechanism to control the number of requests issued on
a specific window at any point of time. Only send windows and fault
window are used credits. When the request is issued on a given window,
a credit is taken. This credit will be returned after that request is
processed. If credits are not available, returns RMA_Busy for send
window and RMA_Reject for fault window.
NX expects OS to return credit for send window after processing fault
CRB. Also credit has to be returned for fault window after handling
the fault.

Applications polls on CSB for the status update after requests are
issued. NX process these requests and update the CSB with the status.
If it encounters translation error, pastes CRB in fault FIFO and
raises an interrupt. The kernel handles fault by reading CRB from
fault FIFO and process the fault CRB.
For each fault CRB, update fault address in CRB (fault_storage_addr)
and translation error status in CSB so that user space can touch the
fault address and resend the request. If the user space passed invalid
CSB address send signal to process with SIGSEGV.
In the case of multi-thread applications, child thread may not be
available. So if the task is not running, send signal to tgid.

When NX encounters translation error on CRB and any request buffer,
raises an interrupt on the CPU to handle the fault. It can raise one
interrupt for multiple faults. Expects OS to handle these faults and
return credits for fault window after processing faults.
Setup thread IRQ handler and IRQ thread function per each VAS instance.
IRQ handler checks if the thread is already woken up and can handle new
faults. If so returns with IRQ_HANDLED, otherwise wake up thread to
process new faults.
The thread functions reads each CRB entry from fault FIFO until sees
invalid entry. After reading each CRB, determine the corresponding
send window using pswid (from CRB) and process fault CRB. Then
invalidate the entry and return credit. Processing fault CRB and
return credit is described in subsequent patches.
