David Dillow 7f9e5c48c1 IB: Increase DMA max_segment_size on Mellanox hardware
By default, each device is assumed to be able only handle 64 KB chunks
during DMA. By giving the segment size a larger value, the block layer
will coalesce more S/G entries together for SRP, allowing larger
requests with the same sg_tablesize setting.  The block layer is the
only direct user of it, though a few IOMMU drivers reference it as
well for their *_map_sg coalescing code. pci-gart_64 on x86, and a
smattering on on sparc, powerpc, and ia64.

Since other IB protocols could potentially see larger segments with
this, let's check those:

 - iSER is fine, because you limit your maximum request size to 512
   KB, so we'll never overrun the page vector in struct iser_page_vec
   (128 entries currently). It is independent of the DMA segment size,
   and handles multi-page segments already.

 - IPoIB is fine, as it maps each page individually, and doesn't use
   ib_dma_map_sg().

 - RDS appears to do the right thing and has no dependencies on DMA
   segment size, but I don't claim to have done a complete audit.

 - NFSoRDMA and 9p are OK -- they do not use ib_dma_map_sg(), so they
   doesn't care about the coalescing.

 - Lustre's ko2iblnd does not care about coalescing -- it properly
   walks the returned sg list.

This patch ups the value on Mellanox hardware to 1 GB, which matches
reported firmware limits on mlx4.
