Using blue flame can improve latency by allowing the HW to more efficiently
access the WQE. This patch presents two functions that are used to allocate or
release HW resources for using blue flame; the caller need to supply a struct
mlx4_bf object when allocating resources. Consumers that make use of this API
should post doorbells to the UAR object pointed by the initialized struct
mlx4_bf;

For ethernet support, we need to reserve QPs for the ethernet and
fibre channel driver. The QPs are reserved at the end of the QP
table. (This way we assure that they are aligned to their size)
We need to consider these reserved ranges in bitmap creation, so we
extend the mlx4 bitmap utility functions to allow reserved ranges at
both the bottom and the top of the range.

If an mlx4 device with default FW (which gives a UAR BAR size of 8 MB)
is used in a system with 64 KB pages, then there are only 8192/64==128
UAR pages available. However, the first 128 UAR pages are reserved
for use with event queue doorbells, so no UAR pages are available to
do anything else with, which means that the driver cannot work.
The current driver fails with a fairly cryptic "Failed to allocate
driver access region, aborting" message in this situation. Fix the
driver to detect the problem earlier and print out a clearer
description of the problem and a suggestion of how to fix it (use a
new firmware image).

Commit ee49bd93 ("mlx4_core: Reset device when internal error is
detected") introduced some section mismatch problems when
CONFIG_HOTPLUG=n, because the error recovery code tears down and
reinitializes the device after everything is loaded, which ends up
calling into lots of code marked __devinit and __devexit from regular
.text. Fix this by getting rid of these now-incorrect section
markers.

Add an InfiniBand driver for Mellanox ConnectX adapters. Because
these adapters can also be used as ethernet NICs and Fibre Channel
HBAs, the driver is split into two modules:
mlx4_core: Handles low-level things like device initialization and
processing firmware commands. Also controls resource allocation
so that the InfiniBand, ethernet and FC functions can share a
device without stepping on each other.
mlx4_ib: Handles InfiniBand-specific things; plugs into the
InfiniBand midlayer.
