Some pSeries hypervisor versions show a race condition in the allocate
MR hCall. Serialize this call per adapter to circumvent this problem.

Export ib_umem_get()/ib_umem_release() and put low-level drivers in
control of when to call ib_umem_get() to pin and DMA map userspace,
rather than always calling it in ib_uverbs_reg_mr() before calling the
low-level driver's reg_user_mr method.
Also move these functions to be in the ib_core module instead of
ib_uverbs, so that driver modules using them do not depend on
ib_uverbs.
This has a number of advantages:
- It is better design from the standpoint of making generic code a
library that can be used or overridden by device-specific code as
the details of specific devices dictate.
- Drivers that do not need to pin userspace memory regions do not
need to take the performance hit of calling ib_mem_get(). For
example, although I have not tried to implement it in this patch,
the ipath driver should be able to avoid pinning memory and just
use copy_{to,from}_user() to access userspace memory regions.
- Buffers that need special mapping treatment can be identified by
the low-level driver. For example, it may be possible to solve
some Altix-specific memory ordering issues with mthca CQs in
userspace by mapping CQ buffers with extra flags.
- Drivers that need to pin and DMA map userspace memory for things
other than memory regions can use ib_umem_get() directly, instead
of hacks using extra parameters to their reg_phys_mr method. For
example, the mlx4 driver that is pending being merged needs to pin
and DMA map QP and CQ buffers, but it does not need to create a
memory key for these buffers. So the cleanest solution is for mlx4
to call ib_umem_get() in the create_qp and create_cq methods.

Add "Modify Port" verb support to eHCA driver. The IB communication
manager needs this to set the IsCM port capability bit when
initializing.

This patch fixes two issues reported by Roland Dreier and Christoph Hellwig:
- Mismatched sync/locking between completion handler and destroy cq We
introduced a counter nr_events per cq to track number of irq events
seen. This counter is incremented when an event queue entry is seen
and decremented after completion handler has been called regardless
if scaling code is active or not. Note that nr_callbacks tracks
number of events assigned to a cpu and both counters can potentially
diverge.
The sync between running completion handler and destroy cq is done
by using the global spin lock ehca_cq_idr_lock.
- Replace yield by wait_event on the counter above to become zero.

Allow users to en/disable scaling code when loading ib_ehca module,
rather than requiring the module to be rebuilt to change the setting.

This patch removes do_mmap() from ehca:
- Call remap_pfn_range() for hardware register block
- Use vm_insert_page() to register memory allocated for completion
queues and queue pairs
- The actual mmap() call/trigger is now controlled by user space,
ie. libehca
