Receive buffers need to be mapped with DMA_FROM_DEVICE. Incorrectly
mapping with DMA_TO_DEVICE causes a hard lock on ppc64 machines with
an IOMMU.

The packet length checks in ipoib are broken: we add 4 bytes (IPoIB
encapsulation header) when sending a packet, not 20 bytes (hardware
address length) to each packet. Therefore, if connected mode is
enabled so that the interface MTU is larger than the multicast MTU,
IPoIB may end up trying to send too-long multicast packets. For
example, multicast is broken if a message of size 2048 bytes is sent
on an interface with UD MTU 2048, because 2048 is bigger than the real
limit of 2044 but the code tests against the wrong limit of 2060.

The sense of the time_after_eq() test in ipoib_cm_stale_task() is
reversed so that only non-stale connections are reaped. Fix this by
changing to time_before_eq().

Avoid the overhead of freeing/reallocating and mapping/unmapping for
DMA pages that have not been written to by hardware.

ipoib_cm_alloc_rx_skb() might be called from IRQ context, so it must
use dev_kfree_skb_any(), not kfree_skb().

The following patch adds experimental support for IPoIB connected
mode, as defined by the draft from the IETF ipoib working group. The
idea is to increase performance by increasing the MTU from the maximum
of 2K (theoretically 4K) supported by IPoIB on top of UD. With this
code, I'm able to get 800MByte/sec or more with netperf without
options on a Mellanox 4x back-to-back DDR system.
Some notes on code:
1. SRQ is used for scalability to large cluster sizes
2. Only RC connections are used (UC does not support SRQ now)
3. Retry count is set to 0 since spec draft warns against retries
4. Each connection is used for data transfers in only 1 direction, so
each connection is either active(TX) or passive (RX). 2 sides that
want to communicate create 2 connections.
5. Each active (TX) connection has a separate CQ for send completions -
this keeps the code simple without CQ resize and other tricks
6. To detect stale passive side connections (where the remote side is
down), we keep an LRU list of passive connections (updated once per
second per connection) and destroy a connection after it has been
unused for several seconds. The LRU rule makes it possible to avoid
scanning connections that have recently been active.
