Hi all,

As discussed on the linux-rdma list, there is plenty of room for
improvement in our memory registration APIs. We keep finding
ULPs that are duplicating code, sometimes use wrong strategies
and mis-use our current API.

As a first step, this patch set replaces the fast registration API
to accept a kernel common struct scatterlist and takes care of
the page vector construction in the core layer with hooks for the
drivers HW specific assignments. This allows to remove a common
code duplication as it was done in each and every ULP driver.

Changes from v1:
- Add ib_map_mr_sg_zbva() for RDS which uses it (preferred it over
  polluting the API).

- Replaced coherent allocations in mlx4, mlx5 with DMA streaming
  APIs (Bart)

- Changed ib_map_mr_sg description (Bart)

- Split SRP driver patches (Bart)

- Added missing wr->next = NULL from various ULPs (Steve, Santosh)

- Fixed 0-day testing errors in nes driver, xprtrdma and svcrdma

- Fixed checkpatch issues

Changes from v0:
- Rebased on top of 4.3-rc1 + Christoph's ib_send_wr conversion patches

- Allow the ULP to pass page_size argument to ib_map_mr_sg in order
  to have it work better in some specific workloads. This suggestion
  came from Bart Van Assche which pointed out that some applications
  might use page sizes significantly smaller than the system PAGE_SIZE
  of specific architectures

- Fixed some logical bugs in ib_sg_to_pages

- Added a set_page function pointer for drivers to pass to ib_sg_to_pages
  so some drivers (e.g mlx4, mlx5, nes) can avoid keeping a second page
  vector and/or re-iterate on the page vector in order to perform HW specific
  assignments (big/little endian conversion, extra flags)

- Converted SRP initiator and RDS iwarp ULPs to the new API

- Removed fast registration code from hfi1 driver (as it isn't supported
  anyway). I assume that the correct place to get the support back would
  be in a shared SW library (hfi1, qib, rxe).

- Updated the change logs

So far my tests covered:
- ULPs:
	* iser initiator
	* iser target
	* xprtrdma
	* svcrdma
- Drivers:
	* mlx4
	* mlx5
	* Steve Wise was kind enough to run NFS client/server over cxgb4 and
	  reported good results.
	* Santosh reports that RDS IB conversion is functional and working
	  with ib_map_mr_sg_zbva

I don't have access to other HW devices (qib, nes) nor iwarp devices so RDS is
compile tested only. Santosh reports

I'm targeting this to 4.4 so I'll appreciate more feedback and a bigger testing
coverage.
