User space can use the MEM_OP ioctl to make storage key checked reads
and writes to the guest, however, it has no way of performing atomic,
key checked, accesses to the guest.
Extend the MEM_OP ioctl in order to allow for this, by adding a cmpxchg
mode. For now, support this mode for absolute accesses only.

This mode can be use, for example, to set the device-state-change
indicator and the adapter-local-summary indicator atomically.

The alignment looks very unfortunate now ... could you please add a "__u8 pad[6]" or "__u8 pad[14]" in front of the new field?
