eHCA2 supports QP queues that can be as small as 512 bytes. This
greatly reduces memory overhead for consumers that use lots of QPs
with small queues (e.g. RDMA-only QPs). Apart from dealing with
firmware, this code needs to manage bite-sized chunks of kernel pages,
making sure that no kernel page is shared between different protection
domains.

Refactor the ehca changes from commit ed23a727 ("IB: Return "maybe
missed event" hint from ib_req_notify_cq()") so the queue arithmetic
is done in slightly fewer lines. Also, move the spinlock flags into
the block they're used in.

The semantics defined by the InfiniBand specification say that
completion events are only generated when a completions is added to a
completion queue (CQ) after completion notification is requested. In
other words, this means that the following race is possible:
while (CQ is not empty)
ib_poll_cq(CQ);
// new completion is added after while loop is exited
ib_req_notify_cq(CQ);
// no event is generated for the existing completion
To close this race, the IB spec recommends doing another poll of the
CQ after requesting notification.
However, it is not always possible to arrange code this way (for
example, we have found that NAPI for IPoIB cannot poll after
requesting notification). Also, some hardware (eg Mellanox HCAs)
actually will generate an event for completions added before the call
to ib_req_notify_cq() -- which is allowed by the spec, since there's
no way for any upper-layer consumer to know exactly when a completion
was really added -- so the extra poll of the CQ is just a waste.
Motivated by this, we add a new flag "IB_CQ_REPORT_MISSED_EVENTS" for
ib_req_notify_cq() so that it can return a hint about whether the a
completion may have been added before the request for notification.
The return value of ib_req_notify_cq() is extended so:
< 0 means an error occurred while requesting notification
== 0 means notification was requested successfully, and if
IB_CQ_REPORT_MISSED_EVENTS was passed in, then no
events were missed and it is safe to wait for another
event.
> 0 is only returned if IB_CQ_REPORT_MISSED_EVENTS was
passed in. It means that the consumer must poll the
CQ again to make sure it is empty to avoid the race
described above.
We add a flag to enable this behavior rather than turning it on
unconditionally, because checking for missed events may incur
significant overhead for some low-level drivers, and consumers that
don't care about the results of this test shouldn't be forced to pay
for the test.

This is a patch for ehca to fix a bug in prepare_sqe_to_rts(), which
used WQE address to iterate pending work requests. This might cause
an access violation since the queue pages can not be assumed to follow
each other consecutively. Thus, this patch introduces a few queue
functions to determine WQE offset based on its address and uses WQE
offset to iterate the pending work requests.
