ibmveth: enable driver for CMO
Enable ibmveth for Cooperative Memory Overcommitment (CMO). For this driver
it means calculating a desired amount of IO memory based on the current MTU
and updating this value with the bus when MTU changes occur. Because DMA
mappings can fail, we have added a bounce buffer for temporary cases where
the driver can not map IO memory for the buffer pool.
The following changes are made to enable the driver for CMO:
* DMA mapping errors will not result in error messages if entitlement has
been exceeded and resources were not available.
* DMA mapping errors are handled gracefully, ibmveth_replenish_buffer_pool()
is corrected to check the return from dma_map_single and fail gracefully.
* The driver will have a get_desired_dma function defined to function
in a CMO environment.
* When the MTU is changed, the driver will update the device IO entitlement
