Hi,

This small patchset introduces support for non-contiguous kernel queue
buffers. Kernel QP and CQ buffers currently use a single coherent DMA
allocation, which can fail for large queues when memory is fragmented.
To address this, we allocate page-sized coherent buffers and describe
them with the existing MTT.

- #1 unwinds kernel QP initialization failures explicitly.
- #2 adds support for non-contiguous kernel QP buffers.
- #3 adds support for non-contiguous kernel CQ buffers.
- #4 unifies userspace and kernel space queue buffer management.
- #5 moves kernel QP helpers after the shared memory helpers.

Changes from v3:
- Address Sashiko automated review findings:
  - Keep the CPU and DMA addresses returned by dma_alloc_coherent() instead
    of deriving a virtual address through scatterlist helpers.
  - Sync continuous MTTs after populating their entries.
  - Keep DMA MRs and MTT-only FRMRs outside queue buffer backing cleanup.

Changes from v2:
- Add explicit resource unwinding for kernel QP initialization.
- Use struct scatterlist for kernel queue buffer pages.
- Make memory cleanup operate only on initialized backing memory.
- Return -ENOMEM when a kernel QP doorbell record allocation fails.

Changes from v1:
- Fix formatting issues.

Thanks,
Cheng Xu
