Child devices were created without any offload features set, fix this by
moving the code that computes the features into generic function which is
now called through non-child and child device creation.

When creating a child interface, copy the MTU information from the
parent. Otherwise when the child's multicast join completes, the MTU
will not be updated since the code does
dev->mtu = min(priv->mcast_mtu, priv->admin_mtu);
and priv->admin_mtu will be set to 0.

This patch enables IPoIB to use 4K UD messages (when the underlying
device and fabrics support a 4K MTU) by using two scatter buffers when
PAGE_SIZE is less than or equal to thhe HCA IB MTU size. The first
buffer is for IPoIB header + GRH header, and the second buffer is the
IPoIB payload, which is 4K-4.

The kernel IB stack allows (through the RDMA CM) userspace
applications to join and use multicast groups from the IPoIB MGID
range. This allows multicast traffic to be handled directly from
userspace QPs, without going through the kernel stack, which gives
better performance for some applications.
However, to fully interoperate with IP multicast, such userspace
applications need to participate in IGMP reports and queries, or else
routers may not forward the multicast traffic to the system where the
application is running. The simplest way to do this is to share the
kernel IGMP implementation by using the IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP option to
join multicast groups that are being handled directly in userspace.
However, in such cases, the actual multicast traffic should not also
be handled by the IPoIB interface, because that would burn resources
handling multicast packets that will just be discarded in the kernel.
To handle this, this patch adds lookup on the database used for IB
multicast group reference counting when IPoIB is joining multicast
groups, and if a multicast group is already handled by user space,
then the IPoIB kernel driver ignores the group. This is controlled by
a per-interface policy flag. When the flag is set, IPoIB will not
join and attach its QP to a multicast group which already has an entry
in the database; when the flag is cleared, IPoIB will behave as before
this change.
For each IPoIB interface, the /sys/class/net/$intf/umcast attribute
controls the policy flag. The default value is off/0.

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.

Add ibX_path files to debugfs that contain information about the IPoIB
path cache. IPoIB ARP only gives GIDs, which the IPoIB driver must
resolve to real IB paths through the ib_sa module. For debugging,
when the ARP table looks OK but traffic isn't flowing, it's useful to
be able to see if the resolution from GID to path worked.
Also clean up the formatting of the existing _mcg debugfs files.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
