intel_th: msu: Introduce buffer interface
Introduces a concept of external buffers, which is a mechanism for creating
trace sinks that would receive trace data from MSC buffers and transfer it
elsewhere.
A external buffer can implement its own window allocation/deallocation if
it has to. It must provide a callback that's used to notify it when a
window fills up, so that it can then start a DMA transaction from that
window 'elsewhere'. This window remains in a 'locked' state and won't be
used for storing new trace data until the buffer 'unlocks' it with a
provided API call, at which point the window can be used again for storing
trace data.
This relies on a functional "last block" interrupt, so not all versions of
Trace Hub can use this feature, which does not reflect on existing users.
