d7bb58fb1c mlx4_core: Write MTTs from CPU instead with of WRITE_MTT FW command
Write MTT entries directly to ICM from the driver (eliminating use of
WRITE_MTT command).  This reduces the number of FW commands needed to
register an MR by at least a factor of 2 and speeds up memory
registration significantly.  This code will also be used to implement
FMRs.

5b0bf5e25e mlx4_core: Support ICM tables in coherent memory
Enable having ICM tables in coherent memory, and use coherent memory
for the dMPT table.  This will allow writing MPT entries for MRs both
via the SW2HW_MPT command and also directly by the driver for FMR
remapping without needing to flush or worry about cacheline boundaries.

225c7b1fee IB/mlx4: Add a driver Mellanox ConnectX InfiniBand adapters
Add an InfiniBand driver for Mellanox ConnectX adapters.  Because
these adapters can also be used as ethernet NICs and Fibre Channel 
HBAs, the driver is split into two modules: 
 
  mlx4_core: Handles low-level things like device initialization and 
    processing firmware commands.  Also controls resource allocation 
    so that the InfiniBand, ethernet and FC functions can share a 
    device without stepping on each other. 
 
  mlx4_ib: Handles InfiniBand-specific things; plugs into the 
    InfiniBand midlayer.
