Currently the IIO buffer blocking read only wait until at least one

This patch makes the reader sleep until enough data is collected before
returning to userspace. This should limit the read() calls count when
trying to get data in batches.

I'm mostly happy with this, though a few bits need cleaning up.
(inline).

The interaction with the sca3000 buffer is a little interesting but that one
was always going to be odd.

I'd be interested to hear comments on this from Lars and Srinivas in particular
as I know they are both interested in this aspect.  It's a non trivial
change so I want a nice warm fuzzy feeling before taking it ;)

Great.  In my case the watermark will keep the processor in deep idle state
for longer time for power save.
So for example my HW Fifo can store 64 samples, then
watermark can set up to 64, so that chip doesn't wake up processor.
This all depends on how long delay the user space can take.

Can we export the maximum value of low water mark user space
can set? If not we have to set to max possible driver can have
when user space asks for some higher value.
As we do for frequencies and others, can we also give this information
to user space?

Also some helper inline functions to get the value instead of directly
to a driver instead of directly using r->low_watermark?

Thanks,
Srinivas

Let me think this through...

Initially on kfifo buffers the buffer isn't initialized.  Hence it should
report as length 0. Thus the watermark is clamped to 0.  I'd just start
the watermark at 0 and interpret that as no watermark enabled.

To set one up, the buffer length would have to be set first then the
watermark level.

In this case, what sets the low_watermark? Whilst the interface is a mess in this driver (rather old ;) it does have information about how much data is
available.  From what I recall, it has two interrupts at 50% and 75% that
tell us there is data. Perhaps we set the low_watermark = 50% of the buffer at the start? Then this will more or less work. Either that or make the two read interrupt being configured set the watermark as desired (and make them
mutually exclusive if they aren't already.
