As noted in the "Deprecated Interfaces, Language Features, Attributes,
and Conventions" documentation [1], size calculations (especially
multiplication) should not be performed in memory allocator (or similar)
function arguments due to the risk of them overflowing. This could lead
to values wrapping around and a smaller allocation being made than the
caller was expecting. Using those allocations could lead to linear
overflows of heap memory and other misbehaviors.
So, use the purpose specific kcalloc() function instead of the argument
size * count in the kzalloc() function.

Currently the HMMU page tables reside in the host memory,
which will cause host access from the device for every page walk.
This can affect PCIe bandwidth in certain scenarios.
To prevent that problem, HMMU page tables will be moved to the device
memory so the miss transaction will read the hops from there instead of
going to the host.

Now that we have a subsystem for compute accelerators, move the
habanalabs driver to it.
This patch only moves the files and fixes the Makefiles. Future
patches will change the existing code to register to the accel
subsystem and expose the accel device char files instead of the
habanalabs device char files.
Update the MAINTAINERS file to reflect this change.
