Hi,

Libmlx5 needs real knowledge of BlueFlame size to properly set data
path to leverage performance advantages of BF. However such advantage
is visible in systems which use WC memory. Unfortunately, user space
applications (and libmlx5) can't know if memory is WC or not, so
we rely on in-kernel test to set BF dynamically.

Thanks
