Provide support for next generation HiperSockets.
SMC-local (Shared Memory Communications -- local) provides a new architecture for high performance networking within a CEC. Buffers in the HSA can be shared between LPARs and will be used for communication.
A new socket family will be used to eliminate TCP overhead. Integration with existing tooling through TCP handshaking.
A preload library can be used to enable applications to use the new socket family transparently

Backport from kernel 4.19 will be attached.

For SMC enabling following kernel config has to be set
CONFIG_HAVE_PNETID.

With this setting an additoiponal modul need to be build : pnet.ko
