Resolving a MAC address for a given IP address in userspace is inefficient.
This patch lets mlx5 user driver using the kernel driver to resolve the mac
and get the answer in the private section of the response.

To make mlx5 user driver aware of whether kernel driver returns dmac
in user data response add a new flag that will be returned back to
user-space through alloc_ucontext.

CQE compressing reduces PCI overhead by coalescing and compressing
multiple CQEs into a single merged CQE. Successful compressing
improves message rate especially for small packet traffic.
CQE compressing is supported for all 64B CQE formats (with certain
limitations) generated by RQ/Responder or by SQ/Requestor.

The capabilities include:
- Max number of compressed and aggregated CQEs in a single session,
while zero means unsupported.
- For Responder, there are two formats of mini CQE: mini CQE with Rx
hash and mini CQE with checksum. They're mutual exclusive.

This patch decouples and moves vendors specific structures to
common UAPI folder which will be visible to all consumers.
These structures are used by user-space library driver
(libmlx5) and currently manually copied to that library.
This move will allow cross-compile against these files and
simplify introduction of vendor specific data.
