    Obtains configuration information from the card, such at the size of
    MMIO areas, the AFU version, and the PASID for the current context.
+OCXL_IOCTL_ENABLE_P9_WAIT:
+
+  Allows the AFU to wake a userspace thread executing 'wait'. Returns
+  information to userspace to allow it to configure the AFU.

Note that this is only available on POWER9.

+OCXL_IOCTL_GET_PLATFORM:
+
+  Notifies userspace as to the platform the kernel believes we are on,
+  which may differ from what userspace believes. Also reports on which CPU
+  features which are usable from userspace.

The first sentence here doesn't seem to relate to anything that GET_PLATFORM actually does - afaict you're just passing flags which I suppose imply what the correct platform is, but really they're just feature flags?
